Youngsters Receive Diana Award
Sarah O’Hare (18) and Matthew and Ben Smith (16 and 11) were invited to Westminster to receive their award from Maggie Turner OBE, chief executive of the Diana Awards.
On the Diana Award, Micah Richards said: “It’s great to hear that Sarah, Matthew and Ben were given a Diana Award which is a fantastic achievement, especially considering their age.
Micah Richards Support
Micah Richards shows his support for a the If U Care Share campaign as he has a personal affiliation with the project. In 2005, a childhood friend of the defender, Daniel Nelson, committed suicide at the age of 18, a tragedy that affected the closely-knit community.
Micah and Nelson, as he was known to his friends, played football in the same local team growing up in the Chapeltown area of Leeds, and they shared a passion for football as well as music.
He will continue to be involved with the initiative as specific events are organised to spread the word.
Carroll Family Raise Funds In Memory Of Lewis
Lewis Carroll took his own life in September 2010. Lewis’ family have been supporting IUCSF by raising funds. In July,2011 Lewis’ Uncle ran the Sunderland 10Km and raised £827 for our charity. An amazing achievement by Glenn Shaw. Billy & Lynne (Lewis’ parents) & his sister Hayley were then approached by Stagecoach, Sunderland, where Billy works. They held a “Stars in their eyes” event in Millview Club, Sunderland. The evening included some of the Stagecoach staff dressing up and singing to raise funds for us. We wait for the final total but are extremely touched by the kindness of the Carroll family and all their family and friends, and special thanks to everyone who took part in the evening which was a resounding success.
IUCSF would like to say a massive thank you to all involved.
We are delighted to announce that the first day of the two day event by Spark FM has raised over £1000 for our charity. The LOCK IN has seen three brave presenters spend 24 hours in a cage. The presenters are facing challenges to raise money for us . The volunteers from Spark are also fundraising by selling “Dan Bands” in the city centre. Final day tomorrow with Trustees and representatives from the Charity will visit the Hub to meet the Presenters and volunteers involved.
We are extremely grateful to all involved especially Ivan Lehane for all his hard work.
A family who were bereaved have kindly contributed to the programme by speaking of the difference receiving support from our charity made to them and their lives.
The interview will be added to the site tomorrow.
