Seasons Greetings from all at RJP!
As in previous years we have chosen to support a local charity rather than send Christmas cards
This year we have chosen to make a donation to Melissa’s Fighting Fund an extremely worthy local cause.
The fund was set up to raise £150,000+ to send Melissa to the United States of America to treat her rare Ependymoma Brain Tumour with Proton Therapy
If you would like to find out more about Melissa's story or make a donation to the fund please
