We’ve received a thank you from the play team at Ward 85 Manchester Children’s Hospital.
It’s the little things that we do which can make someone’s stay in hospital just that bit easier. Thanks to everyone who has helped us fund raise this year.
(And if Santa has been very kind to you do you have some old games you could donate to the ward?)
Our annual Ball of Hearts gets bigger and better each year. This time we are returning to the Crowne Plaza on the waterfront at Liverpool for a sparkling evening of fun and entertainment on Saturday 15th November.
We’ll be starting with goats cheese & red onion tart or melon, followed by chicken breast in red wine and thyme sauce with dauphinoise potatoes or mushroom stroganoff and rice. All finished off with toffee and raspberry meringue.
£45 per person – but our heart youngsters go for free with a paying guest. Minimum age 14 please as this is an adult event to which we invite our older children.
Tickets are selling fast so contact Val soon to book your places.
Now the only problem is which ball gown to choose!
A big thank you to 4 lovely ladies in Haslingden who run regular coffee mornings and aim to raise funds for different charities. We were fortunate to be chosen in January so for the last 6 months they have been busy having raffles and meeting together to raise money and socialise.
On the 7th of June we were invited to collect a cheque for £1000 – so I was joined by Gill with her grandchildren, and Rachel with Martha. We showed them what CHA have been doing recently to let them know the sorts of things we will be spending their money on. Several people were delighted that our pictures showed heart children doing very normal things – even if they did need the occasional assistance of a wheelchair or big buggy.
A huge thank you to Maureen Jackson, June Lennon, Caroline Thompson, Beryl Abraham and all the generous people of Haslingden. Your gift is very gratefully received.
