Challenge of a Lifetime

Everyone here at the Centre would like to say a very special thank you to Glenys, Lynne, Christine and Melanie who trekked 100km across the Sahara Desert in March 2010 and collectively raised over an incredible £23,000.00. Glenys said “Trekking across the Sahara was the most wonderful experience and there were so many different aspects to appreciate including the views, sunsets, starry nights and the culture, it was quite surreal to think we were just 12 people walking across the desert. The peace, solitude and tranquillity was wonderful though and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.”

 

Lord Mayor’s Charity

We have had a fantastic and very busy year fundraising with The Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor of Cardiff, Councillor Brian Griffiths, The Lady Mayoress, The Mansion House and The Charity Committee. There have been many wonderful events, the most memorable being a Gala Concert starring X Factor finalist Rhydian, West End star Peter Karrie, world renown opera singer Dennis O’Neill and actress and singer Margaret Williams. Over £56,000 was raised during the year, which is absolutely wonderful!

On behalf of everyone at Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre Wales we would like to express our sincere appreciation to The Lord and Lady Mayoress for not only choosing the Centre to benefit as their charity during their year in office but also for the brilliant support and friendship they have given us. It really has been a pleasure and we will miss working with them!

 

Charity of the Year

When it came to fundraising Sainsbury’s, Colchester Avenue, Cardiff really did try something new! From head shaving to moustache growing, fashion shows to Beatles karaoke days, they came up with many creative ways to raise funds for Bobath.

A huge vote of thanks to the staff of the Welsh Assembly Government who continue to fundraise and volunteer for Bobath. They are currently organising a Charity Ball which we’re sure is going to be a great success.

We are delighted that Moose International Blackwood Lodge and Ladies Circle No.11 have chosen to adopt Bobath for the third year running. They have already raised over £3,300 and as they look forward to another year we send them our thanks for their hard work and continued support.

GE Healthcare Limited have been wonderful supporters of Bobath since our inception and we continue to be overwhelmed by their generosity and support. In the past year alone our friends at GE have raised over £7,000 and we really cannot thank them enough.

We are extremely grateful to all the companies and organisations who adopt Bobath as their charity of the year. Corporate support is vital and helps keep the Centre open.
