Variety Club in the Midlands has entertained nearly 5,000 children on days out at Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire and the West Midlands Safari Park in Worcestershire.

Seeing the animals and enjoying all the fun of the fair over two separate Saturdays at the Safari Park is a long standing occasion but the Twycross visit was the first of what it is hoped with become an annual event.

With so many children to marshall and provide with goody bags we were so grateful for all the help that was given at the respective events by volunteers from Lloyds TSB and DPD. The numbers attending Twycross for the first time was quite an eyeopener and the management couldn't have been more helpful.
