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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
