The First Fundraiser For Moments

We are very grateful to Mike and Mo Lewis who organised this first event in memory of Carole. In the difficult months following Carole’s death, it was heartwarming for the family to see all the support that the local community had for them. This was a difficult event for the Moorlen family but they appreciated all the effort from Mike, Mo, Tony and Rob. Thanks to local businesses that supported the event including: MB Frames PVCu Ltd, D&D Shoe repairs and security centre, Cooling FX Ltd, Tibbs and Simmons Farm animal Veterinary Surgeons and Ashley Thouless Vehicle Repair. Also many thanks to all the people who attended the quiz and made the night the great success that it was. On the night, the total proceeds were £3580 but this number continued to rise over the next few days as more donations were received. See our events page for news of the next quiz!

More Donations!

This week, the Moments Committee were pleased to meet Lauren and Jamie from Suicide Prevention UK and Ryan from Winston’s Wish. We donated £500 to Suicide Prevention UK and £1000 to Winston’s Wish. We hope our donations help these groups to continue their great work!

Park Run Launch

Saturday 21st April saw the Park Run launch organized by Dr Cary of the Pioneer Medical Group. It was a lovely sunny day and well attended. Patients of the PMG were given a Moments T-shirt which were donated by the Moments committee. It is hoped this event will grow week on week as it has been shown that exercise can be beneficial both for physical and mental health.

Walk For Carole

Last weekend, Steve, Richard and Jane kicked off the Walk For Carole. They walked 16 miles and between them raised over £1000! Well done guys!

Donations for two special charities!

This week the Moments committee were delighted to invite representatives from Second Step, a charity based in Bristol which helps families cope with bereavement and other mental health issues, to receive a cheque for £1000. The Moments committee also travelled to Beachley to present Sara (Severn Area Rescue Association) a cheque for £1000. These charities are very special to us all and we would like to thank both charities for all their work. We hope our donation helps them to continue their support for those in need.
