My 9 year old daughter has now hit her target of raising £700 (once gift aid is included) for the Little Princess Trust.
She’s going to have 16" cut off her hair and donate it to make a wig for children undergoing chemo or suffering hair loss for other medical reasons. The money raised will cover the cost of making the wig and fitting it to a specific child.
Very proud of her and she’s still pushing to break the £700 without gift aid.
Don’t worry, I won’t be posting the link to try and hit you all up for donations.
Okay, update on this. The little (actually quite big!) tree rat is now in the workshop somewhere Fell through the roof, there’s a big hole. Keep seeing him run between machines!
MMH. The cathartic process of a Local Government Association Peer Review. I’ve just vented for 15mins and entirely roasted our SLT.
Will anything change? Unlikely. But it felt good hearing I’m not alone in this organisation in terms of the day to day issues and lack of confidence in leadership and management or, indeed, our strategic direction.
Feeling much better about the world. There is something weirdly secure in realising we’re all in the same crappy boat.
Had an excellent conversation with our SCC neighbours last night. Their OC seems a really good egg and I’m looking forward to doing some joint work with them.
This year we’re also working more closely with our local CCF. It’s taken over 10 years but we might finally be getting somewhere with mutual support. Still nothing from the ACF though
Today was the big cut. 17" off in the end and she’s hit her target without including gift aid. One proud daddy here. I’m also looking forward to fewer battles about putting her hair up!
