Charity cleans up with car wash
The event was organised on Heckmondwike Grammar School’s car park by North Kirklees based support group Downs and Special Friends.
Residents from across the different communities in Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike came together to wash vehicles – and five hours of work raised £1,300.
