Street party cash helps autistic boy

10:46am Thursday 9th August 2001

A BUOYANT community spirit saw hoards of people flock to Pendennis Road, Orpington, for a good old-fashioned street party.

The aim of the event was to raise money so autism sufferer Glenn Prentice could continue with his private education.

Millwall football players lent their support to the party which had a table tennis competition, a bouncy castle, a barbeque and a host of games.

Organiser Leila Bates said: “I was overwhelmed by the commitment all who supported the event.”
