WYAMS
(posted 22nd February 2017)

Last year WYAMs (West Yorkshire Advanced Motorcyclists) very kindly chose to support us for a second year as their charity of the year. Throughout 2016 they held various fundraising events and had generous donations from organisations they work with. 

I was invited to their AGM a couple of weeks ago to receive the cheque, they hadn't told me before the meeting how much they had raised so I was absolutely blown away by the jaw dropping cheque they presented to me of £3369.19!!!! The members themselves were shocked by how well they had done. I believe this is the most they've ever raised for a charity in a year.

We are so so grateful for their support and generosity. We've already decided that a chunk of the money will be going towards putting on more music sessions. We currently hold them fortnightly but thanks to this donation we will be able to have them weekly, which will be fantastic as the children benefit greatly and really enjoy the sessions with Helen from Mini Maestros.

We are hoping to later in the year set up a Sibling Saturday Club, which would meet initially once a month but may increase as the demand dictates. At the Laila Milly Foundation, we are about supporting the family as a whole, as we know the whole family is affected when their is a child with additional medical, physical or learning needs.

We want to offer a place for siblings, not only those who attend our centre but to others in the area too, where they can come and play/socialise with other children who know what it's like to have a poorly brother or sister. An outlet for them to talk about their feelings or to just have some fun! 

So thanks to WYAMs the remaining money will go towards helping set this up.

Thank you once again for your incredible support WYAMs xx
