Family Fun at Fishers Farm
Our annual family picnic at Fishers Farm Park is fast approaching and promises to be another fantastic day out. Sunday 27th May will be the date for this gathering and full details will be circulated to all PSDS members shortly.
Mamma Mia!
Thanks to the wonderful team at MammaLina of Buckhurst Hill and their very kind and generous customers, a grand total of £2,293.50 was raised for PSDS at the Good Friday wine and chocolate tasting hosted by the deli. Over 50 people gathered to try out some delicious Italian wines and sample some of MammaLina’s scrumptious wares, including the traditional Easter cake - Colomba di Pasqua - and some artisan made chocolate treats too. An auction featuring a signed Manchester United football shirt, a luxury MammaLina hamper and a photo shoot contributed towards the magnificent total raised. Our warmest thanks go to Adele, Kate and everyone involved in making the Good Friday event such a success. Grazie mille!
Summer Fun Day
The PSDS Summer Fun Day makes a welcome return this year and will take place on Sunday 1st July (1pm - 5pm). We are really grateful to Nutfield Cricket Club for offering us the use of their wonderful grounds again this year. Watch this space for more details of all the fun in store for the day and please let your friends and family members know about the date! The more the merrier!! Marathon effort
Our congratulations and warmest thanks go to Jo Taylor who recently ran both (yes, BOTH!!) the Brighton and London Marathons in support of psds.
Jo's fantastic efforts not only prove how (mad?) fantastic she is, but have also generated almost £450 in sponsorship for psds. Well done Jo - we're really proud of you!
A whole Hurst of events raise funds!
It was a great pleasure to be invited to Hurstpierpoint College recently to receive a cheque for £1,156, which students at the College raised by organising a number of events.
Cake sales, non-uniform days, a hunger lunch and other events all contributed to the fabulous funds raised. The grand total came to just under £3,500 - with the funds being split between three charities chosen by the pupils themselves. We are really grateful to Beth Adams, who attends Hurstpierpoint College, for suggesting PSDS as a beneficiary and for also raising an additional £200 by selling our silicone wristbands too. Many thanks Beth and to all your fellow students!
Beth's mum and brother, Amanda and William, are joined by Helen from PSDS, students from the College and a representative from one of the other charities who also benefited. Wedding Belles
Thea and Rowan's Auntie Cindy and Uncle Gary tied the knot on Friday 4th May and requested donations to PSDS in lieu of wedding gifts. A very generous total of just over £1,200 has so far been raised for PSDS - and we know that every penny has been sent with love! Thank you Mr and Mrs Shiers - and all your lovely wedding guests.
