Nicole and I are cycling 50 miles to raise money for a great cause. Our target is ?500, we have recieved ?20 pounds to date...


INFO ON THE CAUSE:

So this years funds will be going towards creating a sensory outdoor classroom for George's classmates at the Thomas Wolsey School. ?George?s Garden? will allow wheelchair access directly outside from the classroom, shelter from wind and rain, and many sensory elements to provide stimulation and pleasure for children with complex disabilities.


George's classmates experience the world almost entirely through sensations - sound, touch, smell. Because of their physical disabilities their lives are very restricted and just getting the class out of the classroom and onto the field or playground can be a major undertaking, so much of their day is spent indoors.


The architect's final estimate for the work is around ?20-25,000 and staff, pupils, family and friends are now working very hard to try and raise the much needed funding for this project.


Sadly, George lost his battle lasrt year.... two weeks after our last fundraising event. He was 9 years old. Year after year we will continue to raise money to help children like George, To help those who supported him and to give them the best lives possible.

I'd like to give back to those who support us. All those who donate, please PM me and you will be entered into a prize draw. The prise will be a family portrait session worth ?350 shot by me. Liam bergin (liambergin.com)


Donate what you can afford but I would request a minimun donation of ?2.00


Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. Hopefully we can reach our target.

That's a generous raffle prize! Can very satisfied clients enter? As ever, happy to recommend Liam's work, we booked him for our wedding after seeing his work from a friend's weddings. We've had so many compliments on our wedding pics and they are definitely of our day, not the same old shots.

Thanks Abster!!


YES you can! ;) for a small fee to the cause cough cough... Thank you for the kind words. It really is a good cause.


Last year Georges mother organised a ball and I provided a photobooth for them. We raised just under 350 and collectively, we raised about 7000 through donations. It was amazing! So many generious donations to the cause. It was just so sad that George passed only a few weeks later but his memory lives on and this garden will mean so much to so many.


Thank you again.

    • Piotr and his team just completed our ensuite and we couldn’t be happier. They were a lovely team to have around and took great care with protection and clean-up every day. Communication was great and there were no nasty surprises with the final invoice despite a few challenges with the room along the way. The standard of work is incredible. We still can’t believe this room is in our house!
    • Conservationists would not agree with you
    • What has that got to do with their being potentially terrified when loud fireworks are set off? To the best of my knowledge nobody is suggesting the firework noise is actually killing the animals.
    • I run a small tutoring service for children who need extra support in their entrance exams as well as overall academic support for areas that need a little shoring up.   I'm a mother whose son benefitted from coaching to get 3 offers from leading schools.  I personally offer Creative Writing as a specialty and in each exam my son scored top marks for his creative.  If you would like to discuss options, do reach out.  We offer online classes in Maths, English, Creative, Science and Spanish to GCSE.  Many thanks, Kate
