Community Update From your Newport City Councillors Subject: A Beacon of Hope: Harper's Inspiring Contribution Similar to my colleague Ray ,I also received an email on behalf of Harper from the sparkle charity . On behalf of my colleague and myself I addressed Langstone Community council regarding Harper's endeavours 🗣️ I can now share a heartwarming update from the Community Council meeting. Harper's dedication and compassion have truly shone through, capturing the hearts of everyone. Harper's exceptional efforts on behalf of Sparkle and in honour of her sister Olivia have not only been recognized but have also been rewarded with a generous £1,000 grant from the Langstone C C for Harper's Sparkle Appeal. However the kindness didn't end there; at a recent event funds were raised through raffles and auctions, for the Motor Neurone Disease charity Which also effects residents and families within our ward this amounted to approximately £250 . This was then raised to £1,000. This remarkable achievement stems from Harper's deep love for her sister, her community, and her commitment to charitable causes. Let's take a moment to celebrate Harper's spirit of giving. Her actions remind us that one person's passion can ignite a wave of generosity and hope. Thank you Harper. You are an inspiration to us all 👏👏👏 My Email response sent below prior to the council meeting .⬇️ Subject: Re: 7-year-old girl from Langstone running to save children's charity #Support for Harper's 5k Dear Georgia Thomas, Thank you for reaching out and sharing the inspiring story of Harper's dedication to supporting Sparkle, a charity that clearly has a profound impact on the lives of many children and families, including her sister Olivia.
