Independently owned Lloyd’s Kitchen joined forces with Heart to help raise money for Honeylands Children’s Charity. The Global ‘Make Some Noise’ campaign organised by Heart, attracted 50 diners and four competition winners to Lloyd’s Kitchen. Restaurateur Lloyd Gardner hosted the event donating a delicious three-course dinner, prepared by resident Chef Graeme Murfin, for each guest with all monies going to the charity.

Breakfast presenters Matt and Caroline were on hand to entertain the guests and help out in the kitchen. A charity raffle with great prizes raised additional funds and a total of £2132 will go towards the Honeylands Specialist Child Assessment Centre based in Exeter.

ASHILL BEER & MUSIC FESTIVAL

Each year a dedicated team of 4 enthusiasts (Nick Morton, Nick Keen, John Parker & Gary Foster) from the village of Ashill, near Cullompton,in Devon set about organising a Beer and Music Festival to raise funds for their village hall, local events and in addition this year to make a donation to support the work of Honeylands Children's Charity in Exeter.

 

The event in June raised in excess of £4K and from the proceeds a donation of £1000 was made to the Charity, which supports children who have additional complex needs including autism, cerebral palsy and many physical and developmental conditions.

 

This superb donation will go towards the on-going running of the charity and the services it provides which include equipment, resources and support together with a Music Therapy programme and specialist developmental toy library.

 

 

 

The picture shows the enthusiastic villagers, organisers and Lexie Adamson 13 years, who has in the past used the facilities of Honeylands Specialist Child Assessment Centre presenting the cheque to the Chair of the charity, Les Christiansen.

 

A big thank you goes to the organisers, villagers, attendees, music groups and musicians who visited and played at the event and made it such a huge success for the village and Honeylands CC.

THANK YOU.

LIONS CLUB DONATIONS

 



The Lions Clubs of Exeter, Crediton and Okehampton recently came together to make a substantial donation of £2500.00 towards the music therapy programme run by Honeylands Children's Charity for the children who attend Honeylands Specialist Child Assessment Centre in Exeter. Each of the Lions Clubs who donated did so from their individual fundraising efforts. This was a fantastic gesture by these clubs and the money will go towards continuing this very special and needed music therapy programme.

Music Therapy aids a child's communication and attention skills and dependant on a child's needs both group and one to one sessions are provided.

The photograph below shows the cheque presentation being made by the Lions Club area Chair to the Chair of Honeylands Children's Charity. The other photographs show representatives from the various Clubs who donated. A big thank you to you all.

READY TEDDY JUMP EVENT - POSTPONEMENT

To all the event Teddy’s, Teddy Owners, Parents, Guardians, Supporters and Organisers.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE READY TEDDY JUMP EVENT

Saturday 2^nd May 2015 11.00 am – 3.00pm

CATHEDRAL GREEN

EXETER

Due to the likelihood that the weather on Saturday 2^nd May 2015 during the course of this event will be heavy rain and very blustery conditions, reluctantly the www.READYTEDDYJUMP.COM event has been cancelled for this day.

 

The weather forecast has been monitored over the past few days and constant updates have been taken direct from The Met Office. They forecast rain throughout the event and winds of around 34 mph.

The Committee have therefore reluctantly taken the decision that it would not be safe for the brave Teddies to jump and for spectators

to watch even though the organising Committee have arranged for Teddy Medics to be on available and on standby.

The Committee and Honeylands Childrens Charity want this event to be a huge success so:

THIS EVENT WILL BE RE-ARRANGED ON A DATE WHICH HAS YET TO BE CONFIRMED

The new date will be announced via the above website, posters and social media so please keep looking.

All teddy owners should make sure their brave teddy’s remain fit, healthy and in training.

This was a very difficult decision for the committee to make but was done in the best interests of all concerned.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

2014

We are approaching the end of 2014 - just a few hours left and it is appropriate to reflect and thank those that have supported us over the past 12 months.

Despite the difficulties with fundraising the charity has maintained its services for the children that attend Honeylands and we will continue to do so during 2015. There are various events planned by our supporters (new and old) over the coming months to bring in much needed funds and an ongoing event covering the whole year planned to raise substantial funds for specific specialist equipment.

To find out more follow us on Twitter (@honeylandscc) or follow and like us on Facebook or through this blog.

There are too many people/organisations to thank here individually that have contributed during 2014 but you know who you are. A really big thank you to you all for your support (in whatever way you have) and donations. Your contributions really have made a difference to what we provide for the children and hopefully we can continue to do so and expand that provision in 2015.

So enjoy your celebrations this evening and from all at Honeylands a very Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

THANK YOU.

Diggers Rest Quiz Night

Wow Eee. £1500.00 raised in one night.

 

What a fantastic night of quizzing, fun and good food at the Diggers Rest PH last evening. 100 quizzers filled the pub and enjoyed sausage and mash to start followed by 4 rounds of quiz questions, 1 music round and 1 round of lateral thinking, plus a raffle and auction.

Birthday boy Ian was the eloquent quiz master suitably attired for the occasion. The table mascots as shown on the bar in the photo were purchased and donated to Honeylands by the contestants. The sausages for the meal were supplied and donated by Andrew Freemantle, Kenniford Farm Shop.

Thanks also go to all the people and businesses who donated prizes for the raffle. Thanks to Hadyn Thomas and Exeter Chiefs for the fantastic auction prizes.

The biggest individual thank you(s) has to go to Mark, Donna, Lorna, JJ and all the staff who organised and made this night so very special. What a great gesture by Mark to choose Honeylands Children's Charity as the beneficiary of this event and to donate all the money taken for the food.

Finally a huge thank you to the 100 quizzers from Woodbury Salterton and surrounding area for coming out and supporting Mark and team and ultimately Honeylands Children's Charity.

Note:
The Diggers Rest is a gem of a pub set in the lovely village of Woodbury Salterton. Why not visit, enjoy a meal and take in the friendly welcoming atmosphere. It is just what a village pub should be.



A very Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year.
