Hi Everyone,

What a busy year we have had at the HoneyRose Foundation?? This year has flew by with lots of good things happening and also a few knocks along the way.

My 3rd Granchildchild Hannah Freya Duffy was born at 10.48am on Tuesday 11th November. Hannah is absolutely beautiful and i am so proud of Adam (my son) and Shelley his partner for bringing her into the world, she is just perfect.

Its the 1st December and my other two Grandchildren Charlie and Tyler are so excited for Christmas as they got to open the first day of their Advent Calender today. I am looking forward to spending Christmas with all my family.

The charity has been extremely busy as alway. We have been busy providing memorable days for our applicants and we have fulfilled many wishes along the way such as weddings, parties, weekends away, theatre trips and meals. This takes us to over 700 applicants and their familes who we continue to help and support.

We wouldnt be able to help as many people is it wasnt for the support of others and we have had many donations and continued support. Parc Farm Caravan Park in Wales raised a tremendous £5500 throughout the year for us and presented it to us at a fantastic fundraising event last weekend. The event was absolutely fanastic and we thoroughly enjoyed it, Parc Farm worked really hard all year round to help and support us and have also promised continued support, we would like to say a big thank you to them.

Many other people have donated also and for this we would like to thank you for your support without your help we couldnt help half the amount of people who need us.

The charity shops are the cheapest in St.Helens and are full of fantastic clothes, books and furniture. We have friendly volunteers who will take time out to talk to you about the charity and help in anyway. We have recently put a television on the wall in each shop so people can come inside and have a look at pictures and D.V.Ds of who we have helped. Our shops have a friendly atmosphere and brilliant stock which everyone comments on when they vist.

We are all getting into the Chrstmas spirit and have high hopes for 2011.
