Sir - Please may we through your columns thank the following who have kindly donated to our cause recently.

Following a somewhat unfortunate financial year in 2010, we particularly would like to thank the Salcombe Regis Fair, the Inner Wheel Club of Sidmouth and Waitrose with their green discs for adding to our funds.

We managed to continue to serve our daily lunches throughout the period when our kitchen was out of use and we would like to show our appreciation to the Sidmouth Rugby Club for letting us use their premises.

With thanks to all concerned, from Sidmouth Voluntary Services, Hilary Hatherley (chairman) Twyford House, Coburg Road Sidmouth.
