IN our new occasional series the Andover Advertiser is publishing a “thank you” column featuring messages sent in by readers.

Whether you would like to show gratitude to a loved one or a complete stranger, this is the place to do it.

Send messages to mike.sims@ andoveradvertiser.co.uk and include your name and the name of the person you wish to thank

ANDOVER VIPs (Visually Impaired People) would like to thank Simplyhealth for their very kind donation of £275 to this worthy local charity.

The money will be used to subsidise our swimming classes and our monthly armchair exercises.

Once again, a huge thank you.

Without local support we could not carry on the work we do.

If anyone would like further information about what we can offer please look at our website www.andovervips.co.uk or call 01264 323335.

Janet Mason, trustee, Andover VIPs

I WOULD like to thank Terri and staff at Tesco Extra and the customer with first aid training, who helped me when I fell last Saturday.
