BSA would like to express our gratitude to our patron Margaret Drabble for helping to make our recent Radio 4 Appeal the most successful yet.

Margaret recorded a moving talk that reached a wide variety of listeners, some of whom wrote to say how deeply they appreciated BSA's work.

The appeal raised a total of £8000, combining direct donations and gift-aid.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the production of the appeal and who contributed to its financial success.
