I am writing with exciting news about our new charity partnerships.
This year, we have decided that we would really like to put something back into our local community by choosing two charities to benefit from our fundraising activities. We have various events planned throughout the year and the money we raise will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support and The Wingate Centre.
Macmillan Cancer Support provides practical, medical, emotional and financial support for people affected by cancer. 1 in 3 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis at some point in our lives and 1.2 million of us are living with cancer. The money raised through our partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support will help them to continue their vital work to support people affected by cancer.
The Wingate Special Children’s Trust is an independent charity dedicated to enriching the lives of children and young people with profound physical and learning disabilities. Based at the Wingate Centre in Wrenbury, the Trust offers:
1. Specialist residential accommodation for groups from Special Needs schools and voluntary organisations from across the country.
2. Specialist sport recreational facilities for Special Needs schools, voluntary organisations, day centres and individuals.
Our partnership support will greatly assist in ensuring the Centre continues to provide these much needed facilities and extend its range of specialist equipment.
I have asked Chris Bridgman from the Wingate Trust & Alice Edmond from Macmillan Cancer Support to introduce themselves & there charities at the end of the administration meeting on Monday 21st January.
Regards,
Dave
