Thank you to all our Living By Giving volunteers who helped at the Christmas meal for the homeless today!
Thank you. No other words needed. James is smiling again.
We have recently announced this new appeal via our Social Media – and so far we have received lots of help. James has cerebral palsy, cannot walk or talk and is visually impaired. Recently his mother’s car was stolen outside their house with James’ specialised wheelchair inside. Without it he is severely restricted…
‘It means the world to him and means he can access the outside world.’ Claire Hall (James’ mother)
By donating via our Bmycharity page, all funds raised will go directly to the Riverwalk School Emergency Fund in to order and pay for the chair. Any potential excess funds will remain with the School which caters for pupils aged 3 -19 who have severe, profound and complex learning needs.
The Living By Giving Trust has also pledged to match pound for pound the first £1,000 raised so your money will go even further!
Please help us today.
Our hearts go out to everyone in Lourdes experiencing the horrible floods. The Living by Giving Trust recently sent money to Lourdes to help after the October 2012 floods, but reports are now suggesting that the June floods are much worse. Our friends at the CA Hospitalite have posted the following news item with updates added.
From Matt Betts:
“Thank you to everyone who supported me in my challenge to give up TV. I did it and discovered new things about myself, whilst managing to read loads and loads of books (see photo below!). The sponsored no TV campaign managed to raise just over £500 for the Living by Giving Trust, so thank you to everyone who sponsored me. This will now go towards our Xavier Project.
I highly recommend giving up TV, because then you have to find other things to do – and you might just surprise yourself. 🙂
From Matt Betts: “I’ve decided to do the unthinkable (for me anyway) and not watch any television for six and half weeks – which will mean missing my favourite ever programme, which starts on 30 March and so much more.
This is a great deal for me – I watch television most evenings when I finish work, so it’s going to be very tough to find other things to do. However it’ll probably do me some good too and I am looking forward to the challenge!
To help me through this torturous period, I would like to try and raise much needed money for the Living by Giving Trust. If you can help, I would be grateful for any sponsorship – whatever you can afford.
All money will go towards the many projects of the Living by Giving Trust. Take a look at all of these, here.
