A secret charity postcard art sale held at Sainsbury’s, Crayford has raised £155 for the Freddie Farmer Foundation charity.

Postcards painted by artists, schoolchildren, footballers and celebrities including former Prime Minister David Cameron and quiz show host Bradley Walsh were sold at the store on Stadium Way on 8-9 July.

Each miniature artwork had been signed on the reverse but buyers didn’t find out which artist was behind their postcard until after the sale had closed.

The art sale had been organised by Barbara Gordon from Swanley Road, Welling, to raise funds for equipment that will help disabled children to walk.

Organiser Mrs Gordon said: “It was a wonderful opportunity for us to raise awareness of the important work the Freddie Farmer Foundation does for disabled children.”

Charity officer Karen Smith said: “The art sale raised £155 but the total amount of coinage from the collection tins and buckets on the tills was £228.94 so the total raised over the two-day sale was £383.94, which is fantastic.”

Mrs Gordon said: “The goodwill of our brilliant community never ceases to amaze me, I was so pleased to get such fantastic support from so many local people.”

Barbara is planning on popping into the Freddie Farmer Foundation on Elliott Road, Bromley next month to see first-hand the work the charity does to support so many disabled children.

The Freddie Farmer Foundation is the charitable arm of the Freddie Farmer physiotherapy centre, which provides high quality specialised physiotherapy and support services for children with cerebral palsy and mobility problems, as well as providing support for their families and carers.

The centre is one of a handful of independent UK therapy centres offering specialist equipment and therapeutic exercises, supporting disabled children from all over London and the South-east.
