00:00Mum, they've clearly been very busy here, you must be very proud of all the bracelets
00:08they've made.
00:09Yeah, they've kept themselves busy over the six weeks making, they've gifted some, they've
00:15enjoyed making them.
00:17Now you're trying to raise money for the RNLI, why have you chosen that charity?
00:23Jensen's fond of the charity, he's raised money with his Cups group before for them
00:28and with it being life-saving I think it's one of the most important ones.
00:32Amelia and Jensen, you've been very busy haven't you?
00:36Can you show me some of your bracelets, see what you've been making?
00:39Show me.
00:48Okay, so let's have a look.
00:51They're very, very lovely aren't they?
00:54How long does it take to make them?
00:57About ten, thirty minutes.
01:00Okay, and how much are you selling them for?
01:04£2,000.
01:06£2,000, now obviously I guess you've had to buy the beads haven't you?
01:11Have you been doing something to raise money to actually buy the beads, to make these?
01:18No.
01:21No, has mum helped you out with that?
01:24Yes.
01:25You've been dipping into piggy banks?
01:28Yes.
01:29How's the sale going, are you enjoying being in the Hildreth Centre Sally?
01:35Yes, I certainly like Hildreth.
01:38Now we've got the Mayor, Councillor AD Finlay here who's just popped out from work today
01:45haven't you, just to support these children and their fundraising efforts.
01:50I understand they've actually made you some bracelets too, let's have a look.
01:53They have, they've made me and the Mayoress a bracelet, kindly, we've made his way for him, it's not a gift.
01:59The effort they've put into it was very much appreciated, the least we could do was purchase them, not take them as a gift.
02:05What they're doing is absolutely fantastic.
02:08I popped into town, I knew they was here, so I popped into town, I thought I'd pay them a visit while I was here
02:13and these kindly showed up and I think they should be very proud of what they've done and what they've achieved
02:19and the previous money they've raised as well.
02:22I think that they're very pleased to see you and for you to come along and support them.
02:28Yes, well I will be, if they don't sell out today, but they're doing really well at the moment with enough support
02:33they may sell out today, but if not they're at the Vine Fest tomorrow at the Vine Hotel
02:37for the Real Deal Promotions event.
02:40The Mayor, who's kindly given them a slot up there and all, if they don't sell out today,
02:43so we might even see them up there again tomorrow.
02:46OK, so now you know, that's where to go to get one of these lovely bracelets and help the RNL up.
