Our fabulous Ball of Hearts 2013 took place under Concorde, and yes I do mean literally under Concorde. WOW is the right word to use for when people walked into the room – it definitely had the WOW factor.
We even had the Queen stop by to greet our guests, letting our guests take pics with her as she greeted them and mingled. To all our surprise she got the dancing started by dancing gangnam style, who ever would have thought our Queen was so modern and would dance to that! It certainly entertained us and for doing that dance I ran round the room doing a very fast collection and that raised £140 alone. Thank you aunty Lydia you stole the show and made it both extra special and most memorable.
We enjoyed a 3 course dinner with wine, raffle, auction, casino and dancing. What another successful and most enjoyable night with 260 guests. We even got into Cheshire Life’s January edition. Our thanks to everyone who attended and all those who help at our Ball, much appreciated.
2014 will be at the Crowne Plaza Liverpool on Sat 15th November. It will be a winter wonderland theme and will be just as amazing. More details to follow – it won’t disappoint
so be sure to be there. If you know of anyone who can donate a prize for our raffle, tombola or auction please get in touch.

For many of us Christmas time is always a wonderful time of year. We may be busy but most of us look forward to it. December 2013 was no exception and how extra special CHA made it for their members.
We made pizza with the elves and our creations for our pizzas were amazing – we have some very talented children. As well as pizza there was a fabulous three course meal to enjoy. As all the children had been so good over the year they even had a special visit from Santa who came and gave them all an early Christmas present. It was a busy afternoon, enjoyed by all and we’re already looking forward to this year’s event! A special thank you to Joanne and her team at Hilton Manchester Airport who always look after us so well.

January saw the start of our events for 2014 and to celebrate 40 years as a registered charity we aim to do 40 events throughout the year.
We began with ice skating at Deeside Leisure centre. We had a good turn out and the families had so much fun. There was music to skate too and we had mixed abilities
so all could join in. Thank you to the older children who helped the younger ones.
This was fun for all the family and mum’s and dad’s joined in too – some mum’s and dad’s admitted it was like recapturing their youth.
Happy days.

On Friday 1st March we hosted a fashion show in Liverpool at the Days Inn hotel. After a lot of packing, shifting and unpacking (thanks Val & Val’s dad) we were ready to begin. There were 28 people who turned up to see the show. During the evening we had a disco, Irish bingo and raffles too. Afterwards, we had fish and chips with a glass of wine for the adults and soft drinks for the kids.
We’d like to say a big thank you to our models Kali and Ella who both did a grand job and we’re very grateful to you both for doing this. You both looked great in your outfits and the clothes sold as soon as you took each outfit off which was great.
I know all who came enjoyed the bargain hunting and some fantastic bargains were there to be had. Thanks to all who came and showed your support it’s very much appreciated and we made a profit of £453.
