A PASSIONATE volunteer is preparing to Walk for Children this Christmas, having continued to find ways to fundraise for the children’s charity throughout the pandemic. Sophia Drew, from Prestatyn, started supporting the NSPCC as a child in the early 1950s, collecting pennies with her older sister Isabel for the children whose fathers never returned home from the Second World War “Mum always had food to put on the table, but many children I went to school with often had only bread and jam for tea,” said Sophia. “I believed the money we collected went to buy food for hungry children and thought this was the right thing to do. Years later I came to understand that work done by NSPCC covers more than just supplying food.”
