Exeter Business Club
I had the pleasure a couple of weeks ago of being invited to the Exeter Business Club breakfast meeting at Fresha Cafe on Sowton. What a great group of businesses and very welcoming. I gave a short brief about Honeyland's Children's Charity (HCC) and the work of the Honeylands Centre.
I have now heard from Ashley at Printing.com who invited me that HCC have been chosen as one of two charities to be the Business Club's charity of the year. Absolutely fantastic and I am really looking forward to working with this group of SME's throughout the year for the benefit of those who attend Honeylands.
This just shows what a great community spirit there is amongst the group and how businesses large or small can come together for the benefit the local community.
I know we will have a super year, oh and by the way the breakfast was good also.

The Oakford Players
The cast of Aladdin invited myself and Pat from Honeyland's Children's Charity and Josh from the Calvert Trust to the Red Lion at Oakford, near Bampton last night to present both charities with cheques to the value of £850. What a great bunch of people and lively too. It was lovely that the children from the pantomime cast made the presentation.
The Oakford Players on the 5th, 6th and 7th December last year put on their annual pantomime in Oakford Village Hall to raise funds for Honeylands CC and the Trust. Thirty five people from the Players came out in dreadfully wet conditions to greet us, make us warmly welcome and wine and dine us with a lovely roast meal in the recently refurbished village pub.
The Oakford Players have been putting on an annual pantomime since 1988 raising funds for local children's charities and have raised in excess of £22,000. What a fantastic achievement and great local community spirit. Well done to Strong Pong/Executioner/Genie/Chairman Patrick Lester and the whole cast and supporters - may you continue with your successful fund raising efforts.
Finally a big thank you from all the children, families and supporters of Honeylands for your kind and thoughtfull gesture.

Like the pantomime a good night was had by all.

Sitel Fundraising Donation
Sarah and Les met with Steve and Rob this afternoon, both senior members of the Sitel organisation in Exeter. They came bearing gifts in the form of a cheque for £4000.00 which the staff of the company had raised and they had chosen to support Honeyland's Children's Charity as their charity of the year.
What a fantastic amount to have raised through all their fundraising ideas and hard work. To all the staff at Sitel a BIG THANK YOU from all associated with the charity, the children who attend Honeyland's, the parents and staff.

Santa came to the parties at the Honeylands Centre
Father Christmas made visits to see the children at the Honeylands Centre over the past few days. Santa gave the children each a present and on the last day they gave him carrots for his reindeer and a mince pie for himself. These special children had a lovely time and enjoyed their parties and as Santa was leaving the staff gave him a present also which he was to open and enjoy after he had delivered all his presents on Christmas Eve.
Thank you children and all the staff and I hope you have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Happy Christmas everyone

Father Christmas visits Honeylands and meets Las Iguanas Staff
Yesterday members of staff from the new Las Iguanas restaurant in Exeter visited Honeylands Specialist Child Assessment Centre and donated all these lovely toys to the centre for use by the children. What a super gesture and fund raising effort by all concerned. Their arrival just happened to coincide with a visit by Father Christmas who popped to say ho ho ho and meet the children at their Christmas party.
Thank you Las Iguanas and The Entertainer who supplied the toys to Santa for your kind and special toy donation.
