On winning, Rebecca said:

Week 7
Elaine Bateman from Stroud has won £100 on her Co-op membership card and £50 for her chosen local cause, Cruse Bereavement Support Gloucester.
On winning, Elaine said:
“I would love to accept this prize and buy some extra items to put in the food bank this month. I would like the £50 voucher to go to Cruse Bereavement Support Gloucester.
“I was my wonderful Mum’s carer for the last months of her life. When she died, I felt a lot of guilt and as though I no longer had a purpose.
“Bereavement support helped me realise that I had done everything I could do and everything she needed me to, so I felt able to move on.
“I would recommend anyone who is struggling to come to terms with their loss to take all the help offered by this wonderful service.”
