Sean, Ellie, Charly, Myself and the lovely Ron on our charity adventure! It was a a horrible rainy day over on the Wirral, but that didn't dampen our spirits! So it's time for me to do a little bit of LMSS charity trumpet blowing... a MASSIVE congratulations to our amazing charity reps Charlie and Oscar, their hard work so far this year has made the LMSS one of the top 5% highest fundraisers on JustGiving for October 2017! This is an amazing achievement. Shortly after we recived this news myself, Sean Gill, Ellie Briegal and Charly Waldon had a lovely trip to Claire House to see the impact that our amazing fundraising is having. To give you an overview, Claire House is a children's hospice based in Bebington on the Wirral. It provides support for children with life-threatening/life-limiting conditions in Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales. We went to visit the hospice, and had an amazing tour of all their facilities! Which I'm sure everyone who visited would agree, are wonderful! I especially enjoyed the sensory light room, the crazy swimming pool (complete with disco ball and jacuzzi) and the interactive projector (we had a fun little game of projector football). It was absolutely fatastic to see that all our hard work is going towards providing these children the most amazing resources to make their challenging lives that bit more special. So I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Claire House for being so welcoming on our trip there, a massive thank you to Charlie and OScar for their work this year, and of course a massive thank you to all of you who continue to support all the fundraising the society does!!!
