charity
 

ive been thinking a lot recently about doing something for charity (cancer care) mum died of cancer 16 years ago and i feel i need to do something to at least partly help with there funds, i dont know what yet, or how, but does anyone fancy doing something not too strenuos (sp) with me for a cancer charity?


does anyone know if park lee hospice is still open? i'd like to do something for that if it is, mum spent some of her last days there






AND BEFORE I GET THE SNIPES FROM NEIL....no i aint going soft ;);)

Re: charity
 

I'll definetly contribute can't promise I'll get involved but if circumstances allow it will do no problem!!!

Re: charity
 

cheers Lesley, ok all we need now is a venue, maybe for a saturday so willow can make it, we could even have a jumble sale, you dont see many of those nowadays, i'm sure we could all collect some things between us...seen as most of you are from the Accy area i think that would be a great place to have it

Re: charity
 

It may come as a suprise but id help you out way i could as that IS a well worth task

Re: charity
 

My husband Len was in the Hospice in July for the week before his death - peaceful atmosphere and wonderful nursing staff - we asked for donations instead of floral tributes and had a bucket collection at Accy Stanley and raised hundreds of pounds for the Hospice and McMillan nurses.

Re: charity
 

Let me know the plans Flashy, and I will help in any way I can.

Days aint an issue any more or times, so let me know what you come up with!

Re: charity

Re: charity
 

Re: charity
 

right so a jumble sale type thing is agreed then? we can leave it till after christmas if needs be, we will be more likely to get donations of clothes and toys from people after christmas

Re: charity
 

Re: charity
 

We do loads of charity work through my work at Stringfellows, let me know what specific charity Flashy and i'll sort something out.

Re: charity
 

My Grandad was at Park Lee.

I'll design and print your poster for you if you want.

Re: charity
 

I hope the poster will be a little more colourful than the logo you did. If you remember a room full of people said it was a little drab :rolleyes: :p :D:D:D

Re: charity
 

Re: charity
 

so we are all up for doing it for park lee then? thats great:D and thanx Gayle:D the more help with things the better :D

Re: charity
 

Flashy I've been thinking about this(hard work for me) why don't you get in touch with Harry Grayson? He is somethung big at Park Lee and he is also the councillor for Rishton. Now I know you want to have this charity do in Accrington, maybe with his influence as a councillor he can help you get somewhere to hold the event cheap or even free. Just a thought and then more money for the hospice at the end of it.

Re: charity
 

nice one Bernie...someone suggested to me the other day about using accy cricket club?

Re: charity
 

Up to you Flashy would have thought somewhere more central myself. As I say it's your baby so you decide I'll help all I can:)

Re: charity
 

Town Hall would be good if you could get it for free. :D

Re: charity
 

ere Bernie its not MY baby, its EVERYONES baby, i think we should ALL decide on where the best place is for it, i know we cant actually involve the name ACCYWEB with it though...lets get some places that we know we can have for free first then between us all we can decide whats the best

Re: charity
 

I know we are all helping but the original idea was yours and a very good one a that. Do you want me to try and get hold of Harry Grayson? I know him from when I worked in Rishton.

Re: charity
 

yes please Bernie, it'll be after christmas when we want it

Re: charity
 

No problem will start the ball rolling and see what I can do to help.

Re: charity
 

thanx Bernie

Re: charity
 

Are we still doing doing this? Just that I spoke to Harry the other night and he said to contact him and he would try to help. Just that they need to raise £1:8M every year so every bit of help is needed.

Re: charity
 

yes Bernie if we can get a venue sometime in January/February then its all good, ive started putting some bits into a box that we can sell, got a few books so far, anyone any ideas on a venue yet?

Re: charity
 

sounds like a good way to get rid of unwanted christmas presents....

Re: charity
 

its an excellent way to get rid of unwanted christmas presents Em ;) make sure you save them for us :D

Re: charity
 

wot a great idea shaz, you know you can count me in
xx

Re: charity
 

i know i can hun, just need somewhere to have it now :D

Re: charity
 

Re: charity
 

yes willow, i said that before, most people on here are from accrington so i think that would be best

Re: charity
 

I've got Harry Graysons number so will give him a bell when we are more sorted see if he can help. We can meet up here one day and talk about it if you want.

Re: charity
 

yayyyyyyyyyy that'd be good Bernie, cheers for that...we'll bring our own coffee n tea bags ;) lol

Re: charity
 

I think I can manage to provide a brew for anyone who decides to come:p

Re: charity
 

lol ....ok :(

Re: charity
 

Ive already started to de clutter lol, was gonna stick some stuff on free cycle, but will keep hold of it for now, keep us informed hun xx
oh thanx 4 crimbo card xx did u get mine ??

Re: charity
 

Re: charity
 

Course you can Willow but if you let me know what you drink will do my best to cater for you as well:)

Re: charity
 

thanx em, yeah i got your card, fankwoo :D

Re: charity
 

Well if it's a brew I drink a concoction of dandelion 'coffee' and Caro Extra! :D I sort of mix my own in a because the dandelion coffee is too mild on it's own but the Caro Extra is way too strong! :o

Otherwise I drink most cold drinks apart from alcoholic ones.


Why is that middle sentence refusing to be purple? :confused:
