Two successful events in 2011

 

In 2011, one of our committee members, Laura Boarman was part of a team climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.  So far Laura has raised over £350 to help us take more disabled people on respite care breaks and funds are still coming in

which is a simple, fast and totally secure web site. Your details are safe with JustGiving- they will never sell them on or send unwanted emails.  Once you sponsor Laura, they will send the money directly to us and make sure that Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
