As Ross died in September 2005 after  being born with Heart Disease (CHD) in 2002, I requested that  donations be made at his funeral for this group with the plan to then donate some to the other  heart charities.  

In total we collected £ 220  from friends, family and parents/staff at D.A School My mum made a donation of £100.00 that she wanted to donate only  to UD.

I also held a Halloween fundraising event where we raised money for wristbands.

This event was  really good fun. In total we raised £164.65 and £23.25 from doing crafts at my house, offering cooked lunch, Trick or Treating some of the local neighbours on the way to make a scary appearance at The Tilgate pub where more donations were made. In support of LRMF, other friends made collections;

Anyone can do something to raise money for us. We have sponsor forms etc where we normally ask that you also donate a percentage to a charity of your choice too.

CHAIRPERSON

TREASURER

As our second set of treasurer and chairperson are resigning again due to lack of time to commit to the posts, we would like to attempt to fill the positions with 2 people per post to share the workload.

Anyone interested to help further the aims of the group can be a member or apply for either of these posts.

Please apply to Donna Nevill stating a bit about yourself and why you would like to be involved.
