"MEGAN'S FLUTTERBY FUND": UPDATE

MEGAN'S FLUTTERBY FUND

WELCOME " MEGAN'S FLUTTERBY FUND" SITE has been set up in memory of Megan Bell who died aged 13 years of a life limiting condition. Megan was profoundly disabled and during her lifetime we had to fund raise to obtain lots of specialized equipment and other things such as switches to activate toys and computer. The purchase of musical instruments ,which the children find so exciting and stimulating. Bean bags, mats, lights, mirrors the list is endless. A lot of this equipment to enrich her life was not supplied by the Health Service as they do not fund for lots of these things. We too had help from our local community, friends and wonderful people who helped us do this .

We now have set out to help other families with children like Megan in her memory to have these things through her Fund. Our aim is to raise funds to help special needs and life limited condition children in our local community to be able to have as many of these things that we are able to help towards or purchase for.

Being specialized equipment can cost from as little as £30 for a switch to hundreds of pounds depending on the child's ability, but can make such a difference to the child's everyday quality of life and the joy and achievement it can bring by being independent for those short moments . Fibre Optic lights and musical instruments such as an ocean drum again bring such enjoyment but cost around a £1000 for lights and £80+ for the drum.

We hope you like our Blog and please feel free to post your comments and Thank you for taking the time to look .

UPDATE - MARCH 2018

Hi Everyone,

Well looking out the window and lots of snow once again but nice and snug inside and great opportunity to catch up with the charity news.
We are well into the swing of organising an Easter Disco Party for the children of Megan's Flutterby Fund Group. The invites went out a few weeks ago and plans began.

The party is being held on April 8th at St Crispins Club, Duston.

We have so many people to thank for all their generosity of donations of Easter Eggs for the children to each have one to take home. Also to those individuals that have given us donations of money towards any costs. A big thank you to Paul Odams who is doing the Disco and games for the entertainment .Top Man Paul x

On Saturday 8th March we attended St Francis Table Top sale and raised £65 plus the money donations have totalled to another £65 plus funds raised at November Table top £40 Total £170.
Out of this we have booked the venue and buffet and have a little left over for sundries.

We would like to say a Very Big Thank you to the people below for all your donations of Easter Eggs and monies to help towards this event.
