Hi Everyone it has been an eventful week we have had lots of donations which i am going to list here for you to take a look at. Chris our special days co-ordinator managed to get two free tickets to a Beverley Knight concert at the royal Albert Hall, they were given to us by Beverley Knights Management Team and used for a special day. Alton Towers also kindly donated an overnight stay and tickets for the theme park free of charge for another family. Chris also managed to get 3 match tickets for Manchester City for another applicant donated by the Football Club. Enchanted Spa and Retreat in Newry, County Down, Ireland donated an overnight stay with 2 spa treatments for another family. Thank you to them all. We would also like to say thank you to our contact at Arsenal Football Club for helping with match tickets and meals for 3 families.

Last week we were all very happy to recieve a kind donation of £500 from Niko the Dog and Christos. This was sent completely out of the blue and made the whole office smile, there was a lovely letter along ith a photograph of Niko the Dog and a cheque. Niko and his owner are from Greece and it was really nice to hear that our work is appreciated all over. We have wrote a letter back and hope to hear a reply soon. Thank you to them.

There has been a donated signed football from Everton FC, a tour of LFC Museum and Stadium from Liverpool FC, Essentials Hair and Beauty donated a family Pampering Session at their salon and we were also accepted for a £1000 grant from the freshgates Trust. Thank you to you all we are very grateful.

A few weeks ago before we started this blog we recieved a telephone call from a local company called Glassbond. It was coming to the end of their financial year and they had a bit of money left over to donate to a local charity. They were impressed by what we did as a charity and decieded to choose us. They donated £2000 and we were very grateful, thank you all at Glassbond.

If anybody fells like they can help in anyway, with tickets or donations or raffle prizes then please contact us as we need all the help that we can get with our fundraisers.
