Dear Fellow Bowlers |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
This year I have decided to support two
charities, because I wish to support a local charity, East Anglia's
Children's Hospices (EACH), and also, one with which I have been involved in
for over 20 years, the Primary Club. Any sums raised will be evenly divided
between the two. |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
EACH will require no introduction
from me, but not many of you will be familiar with the Primary Club, which
started out as a charity providing facilities for visually impaired
cricketers. As the charity has grown, so it has spread its wings and is now
supporting the visually impaired in a variety of sports, including bowls. I
do not yet have the figures for 2012, but in 2011 the Primary Club made
grants totaling in excess of £222,500 of which some £11,750 went to the
bowling fraternity. I shall have collection boxes at home County friendly and
President’s Invitation matches and hope you will be generous in your support
for those less fortunate than ourselves. |

My father died before I reached my
teens and I later learned that, had it not been for charitable support, which
among other things led to me spending seven years in boarding school, the
difficulties that my mother faced might have been insurmountable. The
education gave me a good grounding and I have prospered reasonably well in
life. Given the support our family received, I have always been conscious of
the great contribution charities make in life and hope that any contributions
we may make will similarly help others. |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
I have a very busy schedule ahead
for the summer and hope to come across many of you during the course of it.
As well as fulfilling my County commitments, I also hope to play as often as
possible for my club, Diss & District BC, in
the County league. |
|

|

With
my very best wishes |

Dear Mr Cottee & All at the Norfolk Bowls Association I am writing to personally thank you for your donation of
£500.00 to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH). It is so kind of you to
think of EACH by choosing us as one of your chosen charities to support
throughout your term as President, we really appreciate your kindness and
support. East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) supports
families and cares for children and young people with life-threatening
conditions across the region. We provide care and support wherever the family
wishes – in families’ own homes, in hospital or at one of our hospices. We aim to raise more than £6 million from public donations to
deliver our services this year. This will help us to continue developing and delivering a range of services including:
overnight short breaks, day care, specialist play, music therapy,
hydrotherapy, parent and sibling groups, symptom management support,
care at end of life and bereavement support for all family members. Your donation could be used to pay for sessions of specialist
play for a child at our hospice or in their own home. This will make a
difference to a child using our services, as specialist play helps to create memories, develop a range
of communication methods, promote development, maintain skills, provide
experiences and most of all, be fun! If you have any further questions about EACH please do not
hesitate to contact us by calling our direct line on 01953 666767. Thank you once again for all your support. Kind regards, Jane Jane Pigott Support Services Administrator |
