SPENCER'S HAPPY DANCE FOR CHARITY
On Saturday March 11 2023, a number of our dancers attended "SPENCER'S HAPPY DANCE FOR CHARITY" organised by Lin in memory of her son. She has asked us to post this message:
Today (14th March) is Spencer's 50th Birthday and a really sad day. It is made more bearable by the fact I can tell you that YOU all raised over £1500 for the Brompton Hospital. I just want to say such a big THANK YOU to you all for the wonderful support you have given Becky, Josh, Sam and myself and for making Spencer's dance such a happy night. Everywhere I looked there were 97 smiling faces and you all had a go at everything. Thank you to everyone that contributed in any way. I am not going to try to name names as I am bound to forget someone.
Sam managed to squeeze another £113 from you whilst riding his unicycle and holding out his hat. Amazing as most of you had already sponsored him. He raised £380 in all.
Josh got you to buy £208 worth of raffle tickets. A really good effort as you were buying back your own prizes!!!
The ticket sales were just over £1000.
Thank you seems so inadequate but THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Strictly Sweepstake Winners 2021
We would like to say a very special thank you to Brenda Nicolaou who has been sorting and posting all your rubbish to Terracycle over the last 9 years. With your help, she raised £6,326 for our various charities while saving tons of rubbish from landfill - THANK YOU BRENDA.
If you wish to continue collecting for charity, we can recommend Ali's recycling. She's a local lady who recycles all the things we used to for local charities. She has collection points in various locations www.facebook.com/AliRecycling. Julie is happy to carry on as a drop off point for pens, milk bottle tops and stamps, as these are things which go elsewhere for charity.
