I can't believe I'm here typing out the 2008 Report, where did the last 12 months go? An army of supporters, helpers and benefactors have again given that precious commodity - TIME, to help us make dreams come true for families in Chester, Flintshire and Ellesmere Port. The Appeal is getting bigger and better and so is the work load.
 
I would like to say a special thank you to Chronicle Newspapers, Dee 106.3 Radio and Mark Scholes our website host at www.be-on-the.net for ensuring the general public are always aware of what the Charity is up to. As a Charity of volunteers, we are always aware that we are only as good as our next fundraiser or donation and that money is never easy to come by. Individuals, groups, organisations and businesses from all over Cheshire and Flintshire have been magnificent and it's impossible to thank them all. A look at Our Sponsors page shows you the type of people who support this Appeal but there are many hundreds who do what they do quietly and help us to make the annual trip to Disneyland possible.
 
We will be out and about with City Limos over the Christmas period collecting from companies and stores and we know everywhere we visit will be very generous.
 
This year's trip was another huge success, the Party stayed in the fabulous New York Hotel for the first time and all the group commented on how beautiful it was. As ever the sun shone for the duration of the trip and we have received lovely letters and cards from members of the group. Their words sum up what the thing is all about and make everything we do worthwhile
 
Well Done Brian, Johnny, Emma, Lyndsey, Jayne and Dr Heather Pearson for your hard work on the trip. Thank you Gary for looking after the Appeal's finances. Welcome to the new members of the Committee, Barry and Peter, we know you will enjoy being part of the Team. Finally to Our Vice-Chairman Clive, his wife Sue and all the family, we are all thinking of you and are full of admiration for Clive's determination to beat his illness.
 
We all look forward to another year of fund raising and are confident that even in the current financial situation the world finds itself in, one thing will never change and that is generosity of the general public to people less fortunate than themselves.
 
 
Mike Hughes
Appeal Chairman.
