Following a very successful Fun Day on Sunday 22nd June, at the Nunnery, Oskar's Dreams fundraising, for children cared for in Rebecca House, has now exceeded £200,000.

Our grateful thanks to all whose generosity and support made this possible.

The one and only "Gabrielle" was on the Isle of Man in concert at the Villa Marina on Saturday 2nd February, performing in aid of Oskar's Dreams.

The concert raised £30,701 for Rebecca House, Children's Hospice.

Grateful thanks to Gabrielle and to the main sponsors: Black Grace Cowley, Equiom and Quinn Kneale

 

Saturday 21st July - Lindsay Dunwell & Amy Mooring complete a Skydive to raise money for Oskar’s Dreams. Lindsay tells us the story in her own words:

"It was to be an early start on the Saturday morning to ensure we got to the Black Knight Parachute Centre in Cockerham, Lancaster for 8 am. A designated jump time couldn’t be given so it was a case of first come first serve.

"Rain literally pelted of the windscreen on the motorway on the way there, however we completed the registration process, which made us think; “oh my god, they’re going to be putting us up there in this weather!” So we waited….It rained….And then rained some more.

"The moment there was a slight break in the cloud at around 1pm the first people were taken up.  The second plane went up shortly after but came down again without making the ‘drop’ as yes, it had started to rain again…and that break in the cloud had disappeared.

Our four Three-Peaks climbers dit it - all three peaks - Snowdon, Scafell Pike, and Ben Nevis  - in the 22 hours and 2 minutes - brilliant and well done. The full Story is now online as is a Gallery of twenty super photographs

The 3 Peaks challenge team raised a huge £8,000 for Oskars Dreams plus £1,884 for Whiston Hospital!  

At our recent 80's Night at Bar George, we presented a cheque for £25,000 to Rebecca House. This money will be used to equip a light & sensory room at the new Childrens' Hospice.
