Background Info
The Committee was formed in early 2000. We are a voluntary committee who work in our own time to raise funds for disadvantaged and disabled children within the Staffordshire area only. Funds are raised via an Annual Corporate Ball which is supported and attended by local businesses, a community Blackpool trip to see the illuminations, an annual Fashion Show and also local collections. The committee is affiliated with Variety Club Northwest based in Manchester and we report into them.
We are known in the area as a local charity and we are always on the lookout for new members. If you would like to attend a meeting with no obligation to join please contact Sarah on 07920 115055.
