Community Fundraiser at St Catherine's, Victoria Lawrence, said "Our Tandridge Friends group have recently been established and they are so excited about having their first stall at the Whyteleafe Fete. It's fantastic that Pinks are supporting their efforts and we hope that the community will go Fruit and Nut for this idea!"
