Chrismas Ideas

It's getting close, the time of year of laughter, cheer and season wishes. Yet it also brings stress and chaos. Christmas woo hoo.

Anyway here at Livvy's Smile we are in the planning stages for our Christmas event. We have a few ideas but first we decided to ask others what they would like us to arrange.

A fun filled day out, a party, where, when please let us know your ideas xxxx

Update, our first year

So guys as our first year as a charity comes to an end I can say I. How proud I am of what we have achieved. Our desire was to raise smiles and I can safety say we have done that. Just take a look at the photos on the website.
Last year we had the donkey party, the clown who visited the special needs school, the Christmas party. We have also been sending balloons to children who are poorly in hospital. Being in hospital is so hard, if one of our balloons but a smile on a child's face well then mission accomplished. Not too bad for a first years work.
Christmas saw us host Livvy's Christmas party at a great centre called kidz 3 play in Cannock. I have to say the staff were amazing. The website will be updated soon with pictures. It was wonderful to see so many kids and parents have fun and just enjoy the moment. How precious those memories can be
I know my memories are keeping me going. I do work hard at this charity in Livvy's name but nothing takes away the deep ache inside me. I miss her so much. I know she wouldn't wish for me to be unhappy but sometimes it’s just so hard.
It’s been quiet on the fundraising side of things since our last karaoke. This is ok a new year and new ideas coming together.
Anyway, I’m after new ideas, for fundraising and for events we can plan for the children. 2009 was a great start and I’m sure Livvy is very proud, but let’s take 2010 to a different level. Let’s create more smiles, more memories. More happy children.
Thank you for all your support it has meant so much to Alan and I. Hope to catch up with you all soon.

Livvy's Donkey Party Saturday 6th

Yes its finally here, I'm so nervous. Its Livvy's Party. Our first event for the disabled children the charity is all about.

We have a bouncy castle, we have a circus skills display, stilt walking, balloon modelling and much more. Face painting, a mini kids disco and karaoke. Also one of the best bits is the donkeys themselves. I know that they were always Livvy's favorite bit.

There will be a free buffet with enough food for all (hopefully) and free drinks to.

All you have to do is bring yourselves and the children.


I'm so very excited, this is what the last months hard work was for.

As for Livvy I'm sure she will be with us, watching we all have fun.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

It will be a great night full of fun as we again try and raise loads of money for Livvy's Smile.

If you haven't got tickets yet you can still join us by paying on the door.

Hope to see you on Saturday xxx

£866 what an amazing amount !!!!!!!

Well the title says it all. It was an exhausting but an exciting afternoon/evening. It was the first time i had ever been to watch Alan race and all i can say is that i now understand why is car comes home smashed quite often. You wont turn me into a RC car fan, but the racers and their families i love.

The generosity of them overwhelmed me, we had 78 racers in all, a great number. Many thanks to them all. Thanks to Tamworth Racing Club for arranging the use of the room, organising the races and lots more, also to the wonderful women who made numerous cakes, biscuits and cups of teas. The urn was filled many times.

The raffle was a great success to, many thanks to JE Spares,Stafford Models,Mirage,Schumacher,Muchmore and CML. The prizes were amazing.We made a great amount from it.

A big thanks has to go to our good friend Andrew Bird, who has spearheaded this event from the start. I think we can safely say the event success was down to you. Thank you from our heart.

For those of you who went home with trophies(very nice trophies thanks to John White Trophies) enjoy and for those that didn't, maybe next year.

Again all i can say is thank you, the money you raised will go to Livvy's Smile and be used to arrange fun events for disabled children.

I know that Livvy would have loved this event and I'm sure she was laughing at the spills,kills and broken cars with us all.

So until the next time ............................
