Spireworks!

Childrens Chance was nominated as one of the charities to benefit from last year's Salisbury fireworks display which was held at the Livestock Market on 4th November.

Thank you to all the volunteers and 'Rotary Cogs' who organised the event.

Cheques for £2000 were presented to the beneficiaries at the Wilton 'Riding for the Disabled' centre in December 2006.

STREET COLLECTION

Childrens Chance held a street collection in The Maltings, Salisbury on Saturday 16th December 2006. Thank you to all the volunteers who gave up their Christmas shopping time to collect. It was a great opportunity to distribute flyers and collect money and to sport brand new sashes! Pictured are Tony Miller and Christine Vale. 

Salisbury Rotary Club Charity Swimathon

We are delighted to have been nominated to benefit from the swimathon which took place at The Godolphin School Pool on 8th April 2006. Grateful thanks to Swimathon Organiser, Ron Millar, and all the Rotarians who helped on the day. Childrens Chance entered a team of four, Roger Demain-Griffiths, Cindy Demain-Griffiths, Graham Demain-Griffiths and Jane Miller.
The team were joined by a young team from Interact and together swam 104 lengths. Well done to all involved.         

A presentation of £1950 raised from the event for Childrens Chance took place on 21st August at the Milford Hall Hotel in Castle Street. Thank you! www.salisburyrotary.org.uk/swimathon.html

Tesco Junior Great South Run

Congratulations to Bethan and Elen Wyatt who took part in the Tesco Junior Great South Run in Portsmouth on Saturday 21st October. Both girls are pupils at The Godolphin School in Salisbury and chose to run and raise funds for Childrens Chance. Running with thousands of other young runners the girls, aged 11 and 14,  raised nearly £200 in sponsorship.Well  done!  

P.S. Since then both girls collected at 'Spireworks' and raised a further £100 - another amazing contribution. Thank you!

Steven Isserlis Recital

Steven Isserlis gave another performance on behalf of Childrens Chance on 8th January 2006 at Trafalgar Park. Our grateful thanks go to him, Ana-Maria Vera, Michael Wade, The John Lewis Partnership, Richard Seal, Daphne Moody and all involved in a magnificent afternoon in memory of the late Elfrieda Case.

'Awards For All' grant

Childrens Chance was awarded £3000 early in 2006 to fund a part time development post for one year. This was held for a short time by Jane Miller, but Jane has now reverted to her former role as Honorary Chair and Trustee.

Sandra Broad was then appointed by the Trustees to the position of Acting Director. Sandra had responsibility for the second phase of the development objectives which involved outreach to schools in surroundng towns and villages including Andover, Devizes and Ringwood. 

The project finished in early 2007 and the charity continues to be managed on a voluntary  basis.
