It was great to be able to introduce young Podsmead resident Joseph to the Mayor of Gloucester Kathy Williams.

Joseph is fundraising for the National Deaf Association by running the mini London marathon in April. He lives with hearing issues so this is a cause close to his heart.

I arranged for Joseph, his sister Elsie and his parents to come up to the civic suite and meet the Mayor and Sheriff before council last week. The Sheriff also was kind enough to show the family the civic suite.

Joseph has already more than doubled his fundraising target of £500, raising a whopping £1108 as I write.
