Wonderful fundraiser from Mulberry Bush Nursery Group who support us year on year! Thank you for all that you do, there’s going to be some very cute characters next week!

🎉 Charity Week is coming! 🎉

From Monday 8th June, we’ll be celebrating our annual Charity Week with a fun-filled Fancy Dress Week across all nurseries! 🌟

Children are invited to come dressed as their favourite character - or anything they’d love to be!

We’ll also have exciting visits from Winnie the Pooh, Iggle Piggle and Catboy throughout the week!

This year, we are raising money to replace the life-saving defibrillators outside our nurseries and to continue supporting the wonderful The Good Life Orphanage

If you would like to support our fundraising, donations can be made in nursery or via our JustGiving page (link in comments)

Thank you for your continued support and generosity!

May fundraising efforts are a go!

Eddie (Hattie's Dad) is back to breaking rowing records after last years success. "Following on from breaking a World Indoor Row record last year, the team now aim to break the 36 hours World Continual Ski-Erg record at the WellEnergy Festival in Wimbledon Park on 12-13 June.

Funds raised will once again go to supporting Hattie’s House which is based at The Good Life Orphanage in Kenya. Hattie's House is a specialized therapeutic and respite centre, named in memory of Hattie Dixon who suddenly left us in 2021, provides essential care for vulnerable and disabled children and offers crucial occupational therapy services to the local community."

Please show your support for him in the comments and with any donations you can send his way! Link below.

Wishing one of our lifelong supporters so much luck - Damien - who is on the Everest Trek for his 50th birthday in order to raise money for the GLO!

Damien and his family have been supporting us for years, including funding the McKenna Transition House which opened in 2014 in honour of his grandparents Johnny and Mary, and Damien's daughter Shannon volunteered with us back in 2016.

Thank you for all that you do Damien, we're rooting for you on this momentous challenge!

Help Damien McKenna raise money to support The Good Life Orphanage & SBM School
