Small Charity Big Impact Awards – Video

You may remember back in July we announced that we were Runners Up in the Small Charity Big Impact awards in the category for Charities with an annual income under £50,000.  Part of our prize was to have a video made to tell people about what we do.  We are delighted with the finished result which can be viewed through our Facebook page by clicking here.

We hope you enjoy watching it!

10th Anniversary Celebrations

What a wonderful time we all had on Saturday 8th September at our Family Fun Day to celebrate our 10th Anniversary!  The weather may not have been kind but it did not prevent over 300 people coming along and enjoying inflatables, donkey rides, animal handling, segways, games, stalls and fabulous entertainment from the Star & Stage theatre group!  It was great to see so many supporters – some we have seen before but many came along for the first time and some were families we have supported on the unit – it was fabulous to have you all with us!
