A wonderful donation of £3000 has been donated by Connie Kang in memory of her dear father who passed earlier this year.


A keen horseman Connie pays tribute to her late father:


" My father was a very kind person, kept himself low key, always willing to help young people pursue their dreams, supporting and participating in all kinds of seminars and team events. My inspiration and mentor...."
