Thank you - University of Manchester

Our thanks go to University of Manchester for their kind donation of the proceeds of their toner cartridge recycling. Simon Atkinson of the University says "We know how much local charities help their local community and Tree of Life Centre in Wythenshawe has such a range of services we are more than delighted to be able to help them to help others."

Pictured is Janet Tysoe, Centre Manager, receiving the cheque.
