We are now officially a Registered Charity. Our Charity No. is 1130709.Trustee of the fund...Rosemary Yendle, Louis Thomas-Yendle, Ben Thomas-Yendle, Helen Thomas- Powell and Maria Hurley.We are liasing with the Charities that helped Ieuan through his life. Our objective is raise funds to purchase a Holiday Home to provide holidays and experiences for children and their families where the child is suffering from cancer, life threatening illnesses and disabilities.The idea behind the holidays and experiences is to provide opportunities for the children and their families to escape illness and the clinical sterile atmosphere of hospitals. Our aim is to make life a real experience for the children and their families.Ieuan and his family for many years had the opportunity to stay in holiday homes through the Charities. Where Ieuan spent many happy times and we have wonderful memories of these, this would not have been possible without the help of the Charities involved. We want other Children and their families to be able to experience this escapism the way Ieuan and his family were able to.The holiday home we are fundraising for will be adapted for wheelchair accessibility, walk in shower facilities, extra wide doors and hoists, if these facilities are required.We are hoping the holiday home will be sited in Tenby West Wales, where Ieuan spent many happy holidays here.To be able to purchase this holiday home we have to raise 45,000, as you can see this is a lot of money but with the determination of the trustees and the fundraising activities we will achieve this figure.If you can help in anyway however big or small every little helps. You can support Ieuan The Lion in many ways, from making a donation to hosting a charity event, from corporate sponsorship to a cake sale at your local school all donations no matter how small will go directly towards the holiday home.Here are just a few ideasDonations you can donate securely through www.ieuanthelion.com using your credit or debit card or your PayPal account.
