Last Friday Seth came home with a certificate from school assembly. He had received the most stars for his work than any other child at school for that week. Very proud! But we suffered for it at home. He was shattered and at home he was struggling with the simple things - he was too tired to eat breakfast so we had to send him into school with his breakfast packaged up several mornings. We are only a couple of weeks into the new school term so hopefully he will adjust soon!
Giggles Play, the sensory and soft play centre I am setting up has been a lot of work as well. We've received some funding to purchase equipment and insurance, including £5,000 from Northamptonshire Community Foundation, which is fantastic. I have more applications pending, including a £500 grant from Skipton Building Society's Grassroots Giving. We are shortlisted and now it's down to public vote. If you haven't done so already, please vote for us by visiting our profile page. We also had a fundraising swish on Thursday and raised over £200 and it was a really fun night.
The most important news is that Giggles Play has launched a crowd fund project to raise the money for a van. It's called 'Van for Giggles Play' and if you read this blog then please visit the site and pledge. We've got £10,000 to raise in 4 weeks and if successful it will put the 'portable' in 'portable play centre'! I've had a bit of a crisis with PayPal not working properly, so I've gone from being so excited to complete despair. After I've published this post I need to go back into PayPal and work out what I need to fix. I think I'm going to have to post documents to prove we're a real organisation! In the meantime, please support us and pledge!
