You are personally invited to a coffee Morning at Doogles Donuts, 17 Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1BP, Liverpool, on Monday 2nd November 2026 11.30 am to 2.00pm
Life and Society have changed - and Yellow House has changed with them. My own serious, long-term illness has also been an important factor in that transition. It is time to change, and I am preparing my thoughts for the future, especially the next 6 months: I would really appreciate your ideas, visions, and practical help to make these changes and enable Yellow House to continue offering its services to young people.
I would like us to:
• Find a space - Library/Museum/Hall - to host a Morning/Afternoon/Evening showing and telling the History of Yellow House and our proposals for the future - - using projections/slides/music/storytelling
• Develop and finish our Van Gogh on Merseyside Graphic Book
• Have some form of online presence - - where our experiences and expertise matter and say something - - even a sort of comments on youth issues/society/community/art/ Autism/Neurodiversity
• A Long-Term Legacy for Yellow House - - Bootle or Liverpool? Where?
• Regular meetings just for catch-up and conversation
That’s plenty to be going on with:
I will:
1. Develop a short-term, small-scale funding strategy and make Applications (I have 5 such Bids in preparation at the moment)
2. Other ways of receiving funds - - easyfundraising (people buy something for example from Amazon/Argos/Tesco and Yellow House gets a donation:this is up and running) - - localgiving (people can donate directly into Yellow House; we have Monthly Donations and then special Appeals) - - I have set up a Lottery where you can buy a weekly ticket and win money and 50%of ticket sales go to Yellow House: I will explain this later - - it is a new idea.
3. Reconstruct and define our Management Committee and Trustees
4. Complete our 2025-26 Annual Report and Accounts
I will need your help - - and I am happy to chat about what we can all do to help each other.
For my friends at Liege House - I can arrange for us to get to Doogles and back together.
Please come along - lovely coffee and Donuts - meet the current Yellow House group - be part of something special - play a role in helping young people - see you there.
