There are a couple of events in the pipeline to put in your diaries.

These include a Music Therapy programme, the specialist toy library both vital for the children who attend to develop there communication and interaction abilities with others.

Honeylands Children's Charity (HCC) Supporter Request



Hi everyone, sometime now since I blogged you. We are still around and doing fine, lots of things happening to make Honeylands Children's Charity (HCC) even better for the children and families who attend the Honeylands Centre.

Take a look at the website that's changed, the bee has been buzzing and has updated the site. Looks good don't you agree.

Now then, you have all heard on telly about DIY SOS and Children in Need and how they seek support from the community - well this is HCC SOS.

There are a lot of you good people out there who give us likes, shares and re-tweets on our social media but wouldn't you just like to get a little more involved. It is not time consuming, not necessarily regular support but it is enjoyable and you will meet some nice people (me probably) and make new friends. We just need to be able to ask for your support at some events.

But ......
this is what HCC are in need of now. On Saturday 29th March for an hour or so between 8.30 am and 6.00 pm at Sainsbury's Pinhoe Store in Exeter could you shake a tin. Sainsbury's are fantastic corporate supporters of Honeylands Children's Charity this year and on that date we are having an
in-store collection. Its could be fancy dress (optional) if you want dress as a children's character but if not just come along and help raise some vital cash for HCC.
We need people in 1 or 2 hour stints. Please get in touch if you can help via the CHARITY website  contact page (www.honeylands.org.uk) or direct to honeylandscc@gmail.com and let me know your name and time you can give between 8.30 am and 6.00 pm.

Now you are thinking about it, go on do it you'll be surprised how enjoyable it is and it would be lovely to see you there. Before or after you can do your shopping. WIN WIN for all
