The Brainwave Centre Ltd
Charity Registration No. 1073238
Founded in 1982, Brainwave works with families to deliver individual home based therapies that help children with disabilities reach their full potential. This can be anything from walking to recognising numbers and covers a range of conditions including Autism, Down’s Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy.
We thought it might be nice to give him a helping hand with his fundraising as he would love to raise £1,000 for this great cause - all the money that he raises will go directly to the Brainwave charity.
So we thought that we might have a little raffle for you fabric lovers and with this new delivery of Valorie Wells' cocoon arrive in - we thought that would be a nice prize.
How does it work ?... I hear you ask -it will run just like a raffle - it will be £2.00 a ticket and each person who buys a ticket will be entered into the draw for the fabric stack.
How do you buy a ticket ? - The money is collected through a site called just giving.
Simply click on this link here to be taken to James' spot on just giving and follow the instructions from there payment can be made through paypal or debit/ credit card.
Please leave your name on the Just giving site and a comment on our blog here
The raffle will run until Friday the 18th May @ 6pm when a winner will be drawn.
Keep and eye on our blog as the winner will be mentioned here
Lots of luck to everyone and thank you very ... very much
some close ups of the fabrics in the stack
done! ... btw minimum donation is £2 (not a problem!) but maybe the price of a ticket should therefore be £2 (rather than two chances?) Just thinking of how to maximise your fundraising!

ReplyDeleteHow fantastic and how brilliant of your OH to do such an amazing thing. Both my boys are on the autistic spectrum, and we know from our own experience, and talking to other mums and dads at our local support group, that this kind of help is absolutely essential. It can make all the difference to people who are sometimes at their wits end. Will publicise it as widely as I can :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat respect for your OH! I've made a donation. Best of luck for him!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to give -away such beautiful fabric and support your OH this way.
Brilliant idea- both the cycle ride (all the very best of luck James!!) and your raffle. Just donated on Just Giving, and now heading to Twitter to try & spread the word.
