A BIG-HEARTED youngster sacrificed his birthday presents to raise vital cash for charity instead. Charlie Speary-Tyerman, who turned ten on Tuesday, is celebrating after his humble £100 fundraiser went through the roof thanks to family and friends. Charlie, from Halstead, is an avid supporter of charity work and is always looking to do his part. For his tenth birthday, he decided he didn’t need a present but wanted to raise money for charity after doing a project on refugee children at school - St Andrew s Primary School. With the help of mum Victoria Speary, Charlie set up a Gofundme page to try to raise £100 for a children’s charity.

Plans to upgrade Congresbury Recreation Club to provide better sports and social facilities have been launched.

In November, plans to build a new village hall in Congresbury were shut down.
The project struggled since 2018 and the trustees of the King George V Playing Field – which manage the playing fields and comprises Congresbury Parish Council, the village’s cricket, football and tennis clubs, the Royal British Legion and St Andrew’s Primary School – felt it was time for a change of approach.
