Christmas Card Sale - Great Cards for A Great Cause!
Posted by Maurice
on October 20 2006 - 15:40:47 |
 It's nearly that time of the year again (believe it or not!) so why not get ahead this year and buy all your Christmas cards, wrapping and gifts from the Mencap Christmas Catalogue?
Paula Hardy is the new contact for the Christmas goods this year, as Brenda, Pat and Margaret Perks have decided it was about time to take a back seat after many years and inimitable hard work organising the catalogue.
If you would like to get one of the Christmas catalogues, please get in touch wth Paula by phone on 020 8248 9244 or by post addressed to 229 Kingshill Avenue, Northolt, Middx, UB5 6PA.
Or, if you pop along to Enterprise Lodge on Tuesday evenings or Saturday mornings from mid-October you can place an order in person. The dates and times for placing orders this way are below. CLICK HERE for a map to Stockdove Way.
The Christmas Card Charity Shop will again be open at the YMCA in St. Mary's Road, South Ealing and we will again have a number of our cards on sale there.
We have stocks of cards, paper and some calenders as well as most items up to the value of £10.00. Anything that we have to order will take up to 14 days, but the nearer it gets to Christmas the busier things get so it's best to get in early! Any personalised goods usually take two to three weeks to come.
Also, if you want to make any donations through the catalogue, be sure to tick the Gift Aid box to ensure we can get the most out of your donation. A £10.00 donation would actually be worth £12.80 to us with Gift Aid, and won't cost you a penny more! Please make sure you're eligible to make a Gift Aid donation - all the details are at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/charities/gift-aid.htm
Get your Christmas goodies at Enterprise Lodge, Stockdove Way on:
Tuesday 21st November 7.15 - 8.45pm
Saturday 25th November 11.00am - 12.15pm
Tuesday 28th November 7.15 - 8.45pm
Tuesday 5th December 7.15 - 8.45pm
Tuesday 12th December 7.15 - 8.45pm

Well done, Tess!
Posted by Maurice
on October 20 2006 - 15:03:09 |
Thursday Club volunteer Tess Morton has raised just over £400 for Ealing Mencap by recently completing the Great North Run in just under two hours.
Tess finished the 13.1 mile half-marathon in 1 hour and 58 minutes, 29 seconds which meant she had to run at a speed of a bout a mile every nine minutes.
Tess said, "The atmosphere was amazing, and it was nice to know I was running with so many other like-minded people who wanted to do it for a personal acheivement but also to raise money for worthy causes."
The money Tess raised will be split between the Thursday Club and the Enterprise Lodge Development fund.
