Knock on wood

Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end

Scott Adams

John Woolley’s putting his talents to good use in the £50 Challenge to raise cash for Emanuel Whittaker’s chosen charities.

He’s been making handmade wooden knife blocks and selling them in an effort to raise funds for his team, The Black Friars.

And that’s not all… some of you may have noticed John’s looking a little ‘unkempt’ these days? He’s not had a haircut for some time now and his unruly mop is getting a little out of hand.

Now surely that’s worth sponsoring.
