St John Ambulance, Southport ~ Baby Bazaar

SOUTHPORT'S St John Ambulance are after your help and are running a Baby Bizarre (sic) to raise funds on 25 April 2009, at the St John Ambulance Ballroom, Wright Street, Southport. The Bazaar will have lots of good quality, second hand, baby clothing and equipment. Tea and coffee will be served as well, throughout the event that will run from 10am to 3pm. Entrance price will be 30p for visitors.

Without St John Ambulance, many of the local events we all love to attend could not take place. They also provide support for the NHS and countless other organisations. Sadly, this year, money is very tight and more than ever they require more funds to enable them to keep giving the valuable voluntary support they offer your community. So this is your chance to help, and you can snap up some fantastic bargains while doing so...

If you would like to sell at the event, they still have a few tables open. You can contact them on 01704 233605 after 6pm or ring 07779 783 140 for more information.

Teams wanted to join It’s a Knockout!

FOLLOWING last year’s huge success, children’s charity Children Today are looking for teams of up to 10 people from the Merseyside area to take on a series of games and battle it out against other teams with giant inflatables to become the It’s A Knockout champions whilst getting soaking wet and covered in foam.

The ‘Utterly Brilliant’ Timmy Mallett, recently seen on ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity…. Get Me Out Of Here’ will be hosting the It’s A Knockout Challenge taking place at Aigburth, Liverpool on Sunday, 19 July 2009.

The teams taking part in this event each have a fundraising target of £1000 and the money raised by each team will go to meet the needs of disabled children and young people living in the local area.

Children Today provide grants for vital, life-changing equipment for disabled children and young people living in the UK. Fundraiser Elizabeth Oakes said:- “We believe that the provision of specialist equipment for young people with disabilities has a direct and immediate impact on their quality of life and independence and is vital in helping them to overcome obstacles to live a life of greater freedom.”

To help children in the Merseyside area receive specially adapted equipment, enter your team in It’s A Knockout today and join in the fun and games on the 19 July 2009. To register for this event please call Ceri Ward at Children Today on:- 01244 335622 or email them to:- ceri@childrentoday.org.uk.
