This is important! Surely the focus should be on the lives of those in Greece whose homes, wildlife and livelihoods are at risk. I'm tired of the focus being on tourists who have had their holiday ruined. There needs to be more balance here.

🎉We are excited to announce our first Community Fun Day on the 24th of August. ➡️If you are around Malvern and want to enjoy food, ice cream, games for all ages and inflatables come and join us! A number of organisations will be there as well giving information.
