ASHILL BEER & MUSIC FESTIVAL

Each year a dedicated team of 4 enthusiasts (Nick Morton, Nick Keen, John Parker & Gary Foster) from the village of Ashill, near Cullompton,in Devon set about organising a Beer and Music Festival to raise funds for their village hall, local events and in addition this year to make a donation to support the work of Honeylands Children's Charity in Exeter.

 

The event in June raised in excess of £4K and from the proceeds a donation of £1000 was made to the Charity, which supports children who have additional complex needs including autism, cerebral palsy and many physical and developmental conditions.

 

This superb donation will go towards the on-going running of the charity and the services it provides which include equipment, resources and support together with a Music Therapy programme and specialist developmental toy library.

 

 

 

The picture shows the enthusiastic villagers, organisers and Lexie Adamson 13 years, who has in the past used the facilities of Honeylands Specialist Child Assessment Centre presenting the cheque to the Chair of the charity, Les Christiansen.

 

A big thank you goes to the organisers, villagers, attendees, music groups and musicians who visited and played at the event and made it such a huge success for the village and Honeylands CC.

THANK YOU.

LIONS CLUB DONATIONS

 



The Lions Clubs of Exeter, Crediton and Okehampton recently came together to make a substantial donation of £2500.00 towards the music therapy programme run by Honeylands Children's Charity for the children who attend Honeylands Specialist Child Assessment Centre in Exeter. Each of the Lions Clubs who donated did so from their individual fundraising efforts. This was a fantastic gesture by these clubs and the money will go towards continuing this very special and needed music therapy programme.

Music Therapy aids a child's communication and attention skills and dependant on a child's needs both group and one to one sessions are provided.

The photograph below shows the cheque presentation being made by the Lions Club area Chair to the Chair of Honeylands Children's Charity. The other photographs show representatives from the various Clubs who donated. A big thank you to you all.
