Charity Auction Thread-Confirmation from Capability Scotland, by ricobenfico on Dec 17, 2012 23:18:26 GMT 1, OK everyone, final update as promised:
I expected to raise about ยฃ200 if i was lucky with the stuff I was offering up. But due to the generosity (and sometimes craziness!) of forumites on here we raised a staggering total of:
[glow=red,2,300]ยฃ806.05[/glow]
So a massive thanks to all those who bid up in the auctions, who won something and generously donated their cash and not least of all, those who donated items to me for auctioning. These people include:
trevorm floubi gilsteph cnh thedieseldog caddyshack blakeies nicoboss12 coach georgec shootagain fingerz gard I'll arrange for the money transfer and letter of acknowledgement over the Festive Period and should be able to post evidence of the donation in early to mid January. At that point, I'll resurrect the thread for a new charity as I've already had another piece offered to me for donation via another thread!
If there's no objections to this since we raised to much, I propose that the money is shared equally across a x4 different Capability Scotland services:
Youthzone; supports disabled young people aged 10-16 to develop self help skills, social skills and at the same time building a social/peer group whilst giving parents some weekend respite bit.ly/XASNm5
Westerlea Early Years: provides support for children 0-5 years old with additional support needs and their families through respite, group play, music and sensory sessions as well as hydrotherapy bit.ly/UMOGDc
Stanmore Residential and Respite: Whether it is just a short break or a longer term placement, the bungalow's provide a specifically adapted design and homely environment which is well suited to supporting young people with the most complex needs bit.ly/UEE0p9
East Lothian Transition Service: aims to improve the experience of young people with a disability moving from Children's to Adults' Services and overall to identify and address areas for development to improve the transition experience for all bit.ly/WjXscQ
Many many thanks folks, these donations will truly make a difference at the services listed. I'm very greatful. See you in the New Year....

Charity Auction Thread-Confirmation from Capability Scotland, by ricobenfico on Apr 11, 2013 21:18:21 GMT 1, Firstly, my apologies for the delay in getting the confirmation sorted and posted up here. As you can see from the letter, the money has been received by Capability Scotland and allocated to x4 of the important services currently working with disabled children, young people and adults in the community and providing respite to families.
Massive thanks to one and all again. This Charity thread was a resounding success, beyond what I thought it would deliver and that is thanks to the good members on here. Over and out....

Shootagain, I hadn't forgotten about you and your kind offer. I'm gonna take a wee rain check for now if that's alright. In the process of moving house so will be posting a few bits up for sale. Don't want to mix up the charity and sale threads...!
