Our Summer Fruit Crumble Fundraiser is over and again the community have supported us by filling their freezers with these delicious homemade desserts filled with local fruits.
This year was by far the best fruit season in the Upper Clutha and surrounds and we have so many businesses to thank for helping us to produce over 900 Crumbles this year.
