3 years ago Adam Gleadell led a team of men on the 3 Peaks challenge for our charity, raising over £8000!

Next year Adam has set himself the challenge of conquering Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in The Alps and Western Europe.

We’ll follow his story over the next year and the build up to the 6 day event.

The charity link to his challenge will be available on all our platforms until next year.🏔️

June 2027 I will be climbing Mont Blanc to raise money for The White Horse Wishing Well. A challenge that will take at least 6 days to complete.

3 years ago we raised an amazing amount after completing The National 3 Peaks. So we decided we needed to go up a level.

This charity is extremely close to ours and many other local peoples hearts.

What it does for local families that need a lift is what makes it so special.

Keep your eye out for fundraisers between now and then.

Link is in the bio to donate ☺️

Things may have been pretty quiet on our socials recently, but plenty has been going on in the background, as we transition into a registered charity.

Our work in the community has continued also, most recently with this transformation of a garden in Loughborough for our friend Bertie & his family.

Bertie is a lovely 10 year old boy who diagnosed when he was younger with Global Developmental Delay, and a rare genetic disorder. Bertie is non-verbal, but communicates through big smiles and hugs for his family and his major passion is jumping on his trampoline.

Bertie’s dad started to work on the garden a couple of years ago, but in May 2023 he was rushed into hospital with sepsis due to a foot ulcer, as a result of being type 1 diabetic. Since then he has had numerous operations on his feet and has had an amputation of his lower leg to save leg being fully amputated.

We met Bertie & his family just before Christmas to see if we could help. We had to help!

We returned at the end of Spring to complete a full garden makeover for the family with the help of MOFgardens, with Bertie’s new trampoline being the main attraction in the garden. 💚

The 5th gift of Christmas was for a little girl from Loughborough, who has recently had two open heart surgeries.
We arranged for a chauffeur to pick her up and take her to see the Dick Whittington pantomime at De Montfort Hall.

A big thank you to our friends at De Montfort Hall, who also arranged for her to meet the stars of the panto and treated her like a VIP princess, including giving her a shoutout during the show. 👑

Our 4th gift of Christmas was for 2 little children from Loughborough, who were both born blind. They've already had two lots of surgeries to try and help and they are both severely visually impaired.

Both babies need weekly trips to the Leicester Royal infirmary and this has been happening for two years.

We arranged for them both to receive a visit from Santa, the day before Christmas Eve, so he could drop off some gifts for them, including an IPad and some sensory toys.🎁

We hope you have an amazing Christmas with your lovely family.🎅

Our 3rd Gift of Christmas this year, was another annual visit we do to the retirement village of Sutton Close & Holloway House.

We got together with Quorn Football Club’s Under 9’s girl’s team, to deliver gifts to the residents.🎁

Every year we do this and every year we speak to people who are isolated and alone at Christmas.

If you have an elderly neighbour, why not knock on their door this year and spread some Christmas cheer, like this amazing little team did. 🎄

Our 2nd Gift of Christmas this year, was our annual visit to host a Christmas party at Quorn Orchard care home. This care home cares for people with Dementia & Alzheimer’s.

We have done this one for a number of years and it’s great to see how a little music and a visit from Santa, can really light up the residents day.🎅

It’s that time of year when we give out our gifts of Christmas.

Our first one this year was our annual free Christmas dinner for local elderly people, who live on their own. We fed over 70 guests and enjoyed a singalong with Quorn singer James green.

Each guest also had a little gift from Santa to take home.🎅

A massive thank you to all our volunteer elves who helped on the day who also helped provide transport home.

If you know someone who is on there own this Christmas, why not go and knock on their door to check on them. A little kindness, goes a long way.❤️
