Thank you to those of you who supported  the Charity Craft and Well Being Fayre last week in Norwich!!!

We all managed to raise in total £220.29- which is fabulous for the Hamlet Centre Toy Library and Vision Africa! A total of £142.29 was raised for our Toy Library to go towards buying either sensory panels or a mural design for the ‘unfinished’ cupboard end.

With Thanks to the Costessey Parish Council for  the hall, and Thanks to Amanda (finance), Anita, Debra and her Sister, Amanda (toy library), Joan and Pauline for kind donations, Julia, Bertrams books, to Poppy and Jenny for volunteering on refreshments And a HUGE Thank you to everyone who came along to have a have a look, all stalls and therapists.

I want to take this opportunity to Wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a New Year Full of Happiness and Peace

From the Toy Library

Look at these fabulous designs, – created by children and students here at the Hamlet Centre. A pack of 6 assorted cards costs £3.00 and 100% of proceeds will flow back into our work here. Available at Ella Road and Johnson Place…

We’re delighted to have received our first toy donation! Having read about us in the paper, this lovely family had a serious clear-out and surprised us with literally dozens of fantastic toys and games (electronic ones are most popular), which are now made available for loan. THANK YOU!

Our official opening event for the new Children’s Services Centre was amazing – with over 150 guests and friends listening to moving speeches and hearing all about our ‘historic moment’. NCFC’s Leon Barnett and BBC’s Stewart White added celebrity sparkle and many happy faces were seen in the centre. Here’s a snapshot of the event, with more photographs of the wonderful afternoon here…

Everybody is invited to a Craft & Wellbeing Fair at the Owen Barnes Room in New Costessy on December 11th. There will be a big array of stalls with books & clothes, bric-a-brac, complementary health products and procedures, a raffle and refreshments – 50% of proceeds will go to the Hamlet Centre Toy Library. Helpers are still needed, for more details see flyer. Hope to see you there…

We’ve taken delivery of a box full of shiny new collection boxes, to be picked up here at Ella Road anytime within office hours. If anyone is interested in becoming a new collection box volunteer for us…. we’d love to hear from you. There are still a few areas not covered currently or maybe you know of the right pubs/shops/places in your neighbourhood?
