The Eye Fund A charity to support people losing their vision.
We have just had a fantastic month of November with money coming in from all sides.
We’ve had Sales, 3 Craft fairs, and a Race night all bringing in £660.49.
Then we have had various donations with another £406.36, and 8 monthly mandates with £62.50.
The total for the month is £1129.35. Thanks to everyone who bought, donated, helped in any way.
Wouldn’t it be great if that came in every month?
The best one yet.
Thanks to all who bought jewellery, framed pictures and cards. Total takings: £182.50.
This Saturday, 15th November, The Eye Fund are at Hope Place, Prenton, for their Christmas Craft Fair. Lots of good things for Christmas presents including hand-made jewellery, silk scarves and framed pictures using Simon’s unique designs.
See you there?
Saturday 23rd August. There will be a craft fair at Hope Place in Prenton, Birkenhead from 10:00am to 4:00pm. We will be there selling jewellery, greeting cards, silk scarves, mounted pictures etc.
Hope to see you there.
On 7th June Carol and Paul attended the craft fair at Hope Place, Prenton, Birkenhead.
Although it was a very small affair we were amazed that we took a fantastic £124 in just a few hours. We’re looking forward to the next one.
On the 24th November Carol and Paul joined their good friends from the Wirral Society of the Blind and Partially Sighted at their annual Christmas Fair. This is always a great occasion and is as much fun as hard work.
£227 was raised for The Eye Fund.
I think the people in Birkenhead must be getting fed up with us by now. Only kidding—they have been very generous.
This was a new craft fair that hadn’t been there before and we were offered a free table as we are a charity. We couldn’t miss this opportunity to get to know other stall-holders and raise even more for the charity.
It was over the 2 days but only from 11:00am to 3:00pm. We finished the weekend taking £225.00.
We really had our work cut out that day. 10:00am we landed at Central Station in Liverpool, set up the banners, started to collect until 12:00 noon when our relief crew arrived. Then we dashed to Ashville Lodge in Birkenhead to take part in the Craft Fair.
We had arranged to set the stall up on Friday and for someone to attend the stall for us till we arrived at 12:30pm. By 4:00pm we had had enough and were glad to see other stalls packing up. Altogether it was a very successful day; £341.80 from Central Station and £221.50 from the craft fair.
This was our first real opportunity to display our goods at a Craft Fair. Held in The Pavilion in Birkenhead Park, it was supposed to be in a big marquee. Guess what? Someone forgot to order it. (D’oh!)
However, some thoughtful person managed to buy some gazebos and (nearly) everything worked out OK.
The weather was good and we managed to take about £200.
