Volunteers Required
Allotment Volunteer Required
The charity’s Allotment coordinator is looking for a volunteer helper for the Spring to assist with the general upkeep of the garden in Earls Barton.
Lyn Garratt, the Allotment Coordinator and helpers will be working hard before Christmas to clear and tidy the allotment ready for winter, but come the spring, Mrs Garret is looking for a regular volunteer to help out.
The charity would like to find a keen gardener with a knowledge of gardening and planting to help out in the Spring at the plot for a total of 8 hours a week.
For more information about the volunteering role and to register your interest please call the office on
or email nctlctrust.
Grants Officer and Wish Granter Required
Another role available at the NC TLC Trust is that of a
Grants Officer/Wish Granter to help support the charity’s families.
The volunteer role is for someone to help source funding available for the charity events/projects as well as signposting charity families to grants and benefits available to them.
Family Liaison Officer, Janet Walker-Smith said: “Families quite often approach us for advice with funding for aids in the home to help support their poorly children and there are pots of money available for families to apply for and a grants officer could help with, this sometimes, daunting process. The role would also include sourcing one off grants for charity projects. They would also be the person for the families to contact to help grant special wishes for their ill child, which will create memories for the child and lasting memories for the families, who might have a limited time with their child or sibling due their life-limiting condition.”

response from people. We try to make the children’s Christmas party/ event special by a visit from Santa and each year our gift appeal provides him with some fantastic gifts to hand out to the children.”

It is so lovely to hear from our families about the wonderful time they all had at our caravan down the East Sussex Coast. One of our families - Rebecca, her partner and little Logan have only just returned from Hastings with a fantastic feedback :
" We had a brilliant time, Logan absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for the opportunity to go, it's such a beautiful & relaxing area with lots of things to do and was great to get away from everything for a while and enjoy each other's company, whilst still feeling very at home in the lovely caravan. It's really reassuring knowing how close the hospital is too. We will definitely go back next year if possible."
Rich Pickings from Our Children's Garden
One of our families - The Chamberlains - are already reaping the benefits from our allotment and getting freshly grown veggies for their dinner (families plant and look after their own veggie patches). It's a great way for the children to learn where the veggies come from and how to grow their own.
Sally Chamberlain said: "Kids were amazed to find broad beans inside their casing and loved tasting peas in pods. And this is from two kids that never eat veg without a fuss!!"
What a fantastic result!!
Sky Divers Raise Thousands of Pounds for Charity
A Team of volunteers took a leap of faith for the NC TLC Trust and look set to have raised ?10,000 for the children’s cancer charity.
A total of 16 sky divers each jumped 13,000 feet from a plane in aid of the Earls Barton charity.
Events manager for the NCTLC Trust, Victoria Mifsud was part of the team along with Joanne Prior, Jemma Grant and Debbie Langley from Faking it Salon at Weston Favell, Nick Hughes and Ruth Shaw from Mercedes (Inter-county Wellingborough), Jake Nagy from SCS Tyres, Kati Ackerman, Hana Simpson, Rob Turquand, Paul Birch, Michelle Petit, Charleigh Richie, Danielle Miller and Maria Cox.
Victoria said: “What started off as a two person event hoping to raise between ?1,000 and ?2,000 evolved into 16 people and now looking set to raise ?10,000. I nicknamed the team ‘The Flying Squad’!”
She added: “Lots of family and friends came along to show their support to their loved ones and the charity. They all brought their picnics along with them and it was a truly fun and memorable day.”
She added: “All the participants truly enjoyed the experience. Well done everyone who took part.”
They all took to the skies on Sunday, May 18th at the North London Skydiving Company in Cambridgeshire, and sponsorship is coming in.
Allotment Transformation Revealed
The NC TLC Trust’s allotment has undergone a re-design and all the work and care shown to the garden was unveiled at an official open day in May.
On Sunday, May 11th the children’s cancer charity invited charity families and supporters to the allotment garden in Earls Barton, and the rain stayed away allowing visitors to enjoy the newly cultivated and maintained allotment plot.
Lynda Garratt, the Trust’s Allotment Project Manager, has worked tirelessly for months on the project with the help of volunteers and funding from sponsors to get it completed and ready for the families to utilise and enjoy.
The allotment space offers the charity families four raised planting beds for produce to be grown and harvested by them, whilst enjoying the outdoor space at the same time.
The NCTLC Trust Event’s Manager, Victoria Mifsud said: “What a lovely afternoon it turned out to be.
The allotment looks beautiful, thanks to our fantastic project manager, Lynda Garratt.”
She added: “Lynda made this event exactly what it should be.
The children turned up with their shovels and plants or seeds and planted them in their designated flower beds.
“They will now continue to care for them throughout the year.”
The newly appointed NC TLC Trust patron, Dominic Waldouck, Northampton Saints player was there for the official opening along with two of his team mates, James Craig and Phil Dowson.
Miss Misfud said: “We would like to thank Dominic, James and Phil but most of all we would like to thank the biggest stars of the day our charity Families for coming along.”
A celebration cake cut on the day was provided by Nina McPherson and her daughter Molly and was enjoyed by all.
Reflecting on the project, Lynda Garratt said: “I was appointed project manager for the NC TLC Trust around about 6 or 7 months ago. The plan was to rejuvenate the plot and bring it back into use for the charity families to enjoy and grow plants and produce.
“When I first saw the allotment my first thought was ‘oh my goodness I’m going to have my work cut out for me here’, but in the same breathe I thought ‘what a challenge this will be, can’t wait to get stuck in.’ “
Mrs Garrett added: “It has taken months of hard work by an army of volunteers, weeding, constructing, painting, staining wood, erecting fences, making signs and making seating etc.
“I would like to thank all the kind businesses for their generous donations of plants, compost, timber, child seats, and slabs etc. – Akzo Noble, Bosworths, Growing Beds, Hevey Building Supplies, Northampton Garden Centre Group and Marshalls.”
She added: “The best reward I could have now is to see the plot utilised and enjoyed by the families of the charity.”
The NC TLC Trust would also like to thank volunteers from Nationwide Building Society’s Member Services team that helped near the end of the project to help with finishing touches. Special thanks go to Stacey M Lois Paulin, Mike Binner, Rob Pittan, Elanie Holmes, Clair Eustace, Steven Tong, Matt Whitworth and Cathy Brownlie.

Mr Rees added: “We would have liked to be supporting all six charities but we hope to do more for the others in the future.”
Trustee of the NC TLC Trust, Simon Cox Said: “We have a number of projects on-going this year which the kind donation from Jackson Grundy will go towards, including the upkeep of our memorial garden in Earls Barton remembering the children who are no longer with us and supporting the costs of our caravan based in Hastings, Sussex where the children, along with their families, receive much needed time away.”

The event was enjoyed by 165 guests who also had time during the evening for reflection on why they were all there and where our money donated goes to.
During the evening we were shown a short video which highlighted the work of the charity to help the families and help them enjoy life, with their children who are suffering and the charity provides them with the much needed break from hospital treatment and appointments.
The video illustrated what a great year of events the charity had hosted during 2012 and what enjoyable times have been had by the families with a track day at Rockingham Raceway, the launch of the Community allotment project in June, time on a narrow boat and many getting away to the charity’s caravan.
Then alongside the happiness of the images were mixed in with the memories of those children helped but no longer with us, those who lost their fight against Cancer.
Awards were then awarded to sponsors/companies who have raised great amounts of money for the charity and supported in various ways, the categories were as follows: Continuous Support - ,
Duncan Carte D& S Autos, Chris Kellett and Mandy K

Dedication & Commitment award went to the Birch family in Memory of Corporal Marc Birch who to date have raised ?17,000 and Ben Chamberlain, a young boy who is currently undergoing treatment for stage 2 cancer bravely helped present the awards.
The most prestigous award of the evening was a special award awarded by Lorna Nix, who lost her son Owen in his fight against cancer this year after relapsing at Christmas.She along with husband Gary Nix presented
the Owen Joseph Memorial Trophy award to represented by Mike and Julie Gardner, who also presented us with a ?1000 cheque on the night.
Chairman of the NC TLC Trust, Kevin Smith said: “We were really happy to see everyone enjoying the evening, and also showing them how the team make a difference to now so many families.
“We are delighted to have received so many kind words of support, and admiration for the evening.”
Chief Executive of the charity, Janet Walker-Smith added: “It was an awesome evening and it is going to be difficult to top this one next year.”
The evening raised more than ?5,000 for the Earl Barton based charity and more money is still pouring in via donate on website.
The live auction on the night and the silent auction both were huge successes with ?950 being given for the signed Fabio Capello England football shirt, donated by Casey Smith TJ’s older brother who was in hospital last December in Great Ormond Street, he signed it just before he went on Sky news that evening and resigned as England manager from football.
Janet said:” The bidder wanted to remain anonymous, thank-you to who it was who kindly donated the shirt back to be auctioned again next year.”
