Let us enlighten you |
 One of our objectives for 2023 has been to help raise funds and awareness for a local charity. Saint Francis Hospice – a local charity that cares for people in our community with palliative and end of life care - fell under our radar, mostly due to the wonderful Andy Furneaux and his amazing talent as a Fundraiser.

 We love working with Mitchell’s Miracles! They have been our client since 2021 and we have had the pleasure of building them a brand new website as well as offering them ongoing maintenance. Based in Romford, this children’s charity, uniquely offers emotional and financial support to families across the UK, with children that have Neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. Founded in 2013, by Kristel Huth, their mission was, and continues to be two-fold; to raise much needed funds, as well as raising awareness about the disease across the UK. To show our support and admiration for the endeavours of this small team, we have sponsored their latest event – a family fun day with a Super Hero theme. Taking place on the grounds of Campion School, Wingletye Lane, Hornchurch, it promises to be an action packed day with live music, refreshments, stalls to peruse, rides, acts and lots, lots more. Doors open at 10am, with curtains down at 5pm. The weather promises to be a little cooler, which means that everyone will be able to enjoy the activities even more. So why not make time this Saturday 17 June and head along for some fun whilst also doing something wonderful for an awesome charity.  Christine and Tracey with fellow Saint Francis Hospice skydivers Well, after what feels like a long month waiting for our new jump date to come around – we are proud to announce that our skydive for Saint Francis Hospice was successfully achieved yesterday – 11 June 2023. Christine and I have approached this day with nothing but excitement and relish at the thought of doing something amazing for an incredible charity and we were not disappointed.
 A massive thanks to everyone who has taken the time and effort to donate to our fundraising efforts so far! We're really feeling the love and are absolutely delighted to have surpassed our aim to raise £1,000. We're also really excited about having the opportunity to raise the profile of our Sky Dive by appearing in the Romford Recorder recently. If you're reading this for the first time, it's not too late to get involved and donate whatever you can spare by going to our Just Giving page.   Following our recent tour around St Francis Hospice with Fundraiser, Andy Furneaux, we were struck by the awesome work and provision this organisation does for so many residents of Havering and the wider communities. None of us knows what tomorrow may bring and in the event that our health is compromised, being cared for by professional, passionate staff in a loving, clean, warm environment is something that should be available to all. Unfortunately, less than 30% of their funding comes from the NHS and Government combined and the remainder is made up from donations and fundraising activities. So today we’re announcing our intention to join the list of fundraisers, past and present and raise some much-needed funds for this amazing charity by jumping 10,000 feet out of a plane! We’ll be joined by the lovely Andy (pictured above) who has never jumped before and despite his terror, is ready and willing to give it a go! Help the Perfect Layout team raise £1,000 for Saint Francis Hospice!
 Just over a year ago we did an Interview with… Saint Francis Hospice. One of their Fundraisers, Andy Furneaux, was kind enough to tell us about the amazing work the hospice does for thousands of people, year in, year out.
St Francis Hospice is well-known across Havering, beaming its brightly coloured orange and messages of hope, care and love in the community. Our health can be compromised at any time of life and the caring professionals of this hospice regularly look after people of all ages; whether that’s at some point of their illness or at their end of life. |
