We feel blessed with the continual support we receive from local individuals and Companies. We received a call from Wave 105 as a man had phoned them to offer a week’s holiday to a charity who support families in need. We thought of a family straightaway who have been through an horrific ordeal recently, and truly deserve a family break. So thank you to Mark Hibbs and Wave 105 – two children and their mum are beaming from ear to ear. We hope this will be the new start they all need.

Thank you so much to Glenigan – to Tony Wilson for organising the collection, all the staff for donating and to their Boss Vicci McEwen who matched the amount of eggs donated by her staff. These will be collected over the next few days and distributed to underprivileged children in Poole, Bournemouth & Christchurch through Social Workers and Pastoral Care Workers.

Weighted blankets ordered for 2 autistic children – to help them settle and keep calm

We are VERY excited to launch “Ashley Bear” – this little bear will be given to children who have been through domestic violence or neglect. Someone to hug, and talk to when they are feeling sad. We have wanted to purchase and launch these for so long, and thanks to a grant from Talbot Village Trust, and our fundraising efforts last year, we can now make this possible. They will become our “mascot” and hopefully give the children some comfort.
