DESERT ISLAND PICKS - Following a rip-roaringly entertaining evening at the inaugural Desert Island Picks with the hilarious John Martin at the Lion Hotel.

Dreamcatcher Children have benefited to the tune of £1000!..... most of which we have already spent brightening the lives of children and their families this coming Christmas.

So thank you to all you wonderful people who came on the evening and have given us donations and donated raffle prizes and of course our castaway guest John Martin and incredibly patient interviewer Carl Jones and the terrific audio visual guru Izzy Maclachlan.

We plan to have more Desert Island picks events in the New Year with links to television and film so keep your eyes peeled for the announcement.

Thanks to you fabulous Dreamcatcher Children supporters we have been able to reserve an adapted cottage for a 4 year old boy and his family to spend a week at Center Parcs  October.... they were over the moon and it gives them a positive focus throughout the years trials & tribulations of procedures and hospital appointments ....THANKYOU! I can also now tell you they had a fabulous time and were able to hire an adapted wheelchair bike which helped the young fella have some brilliant experiences and a wonderful time was had by all the family to quote them" It was amazing! We had such a wonderful time full of cycling, walking, swimming and general good fun... we were able to hire the wheelchair bike which our little boy of 4 absolutely loved, his face lit up and there were squals of joy riding over the bumps or whoshing down the hills. He was also very excited at the daily trip to the swimming pool where he bobbed around in the wave pool and floated in the warm bubbles by the fountains...it was lovely to spend time just doing nice fun family things which wouldn't have been possible without you and for that we are truly grateful"  Thank you all you wonderful Dreamcatcher Children supporters

What a fabulous evening it was at the LORD HILL Shrewsbury last night 30th October, Paul Ray(Rushworth), Paul Challinor and Millie an out standing 16 year old singer who must have a terrific future on stage in musicals or just as a solo artiste and not forgetting Geoff Rushworth who displayed his usual outstanding close up magic!! Together with all their friends and family they entertained and raised monies to benefit Multiple Sclerosis and DREAMCATCHER CHILDREN!  All giving up their time and energies freely so others less fortunate may benefit and of course the monies raised would not have been possible without all you wonderful people who attended and paid to watch this music, magic and mayhem and as many found out when Paul R sings Crying ...bring an umbrella in future!  Thank you also for the donations from those who could not attend too and money raised on the raffle! We are blessed to have such caring supportive folk in our community!
