IT WAS time to celebrate for children’s charity Bexley SNAP.

The charity, which helps children with disabilities, threw a party at Marlborough School, in Sidcup, for children and their parents to celebrate a donation of more than £21,000 from Barclays Bank.

The money will be used to help pay for the charity’s School for Parents, which provides training, support and information to parents to help them deal with their young children’s disabilities.

Employee volunteers from Barclays organised the event, which was open to past and present SNAP members and community groups.

Carol McCall, from Bexley SNAP, told News Shopper: “This is a wonderful donation which will make a significant difference to physically-disabled children in Bexley.” Barclays community manager Debbie Phillips added: “This is a great opportunity for us to help make a real and lasting difference to the community.”
