any ideas for gettins us on tele?    haha

my local news is calendar news, ill have a search on their website and see what we can do.

Dear all,
Thanks for all the activity.  Yes we have TOF t-shirts available - just email us at the office with your full address and brief outline of why you need it and we can get one in the post.
Thanks for the offer Jayne from your friend re: printing more t-shirts - maybe you’d ask him if he’d like to email a quote to get some more printed and we could consider using him for our next order?
I’ll try and get a poster together this week.  I’ll post on here when it’s ready.  It would be good if you’d again email us at the office though if you’d like some.  They can be displayed whenever you get them if you like.  By the way, we do have laminated hospital posters which I can send you as well if you’re interested in asking your local hospital to display. 
Many thanks,
Diane

hi just thought id update on what we will b doin through the TOFS awareness week, im goin to make a few baskets up to raffle that some local nurseries will be taking for me and raffling to all the parents, in the baskets im going to put a select of childrens books, fluffy teddy bear and chocolate, and one nursery is thinking about having a fun day where he children will bring in a £1 in the morning etc and all mony raised will be donated to TOFS.

thats a good idea jayne, i had forgot about chemists, ill have to try them here too.

I am doing an interview for our local paper (Hudds Examiner) who also ran an article on us the last awareness week! They are going to follow up Harrison’s story, and his progression through the starvation programme.
Last time, I also bought a load of kits kats etc and sold them all at work, and made ppl look at the TOFS leaflets in their coffee break. i only raised £30, but it was a start, and at least it got an awareness out to ppl who worked with kids but not heard of TOF.

Hi all,
Just to let you know there’s an Awareness Week poster available to download and print with space on it so you can write the details about the event you’re organising.  You can access it from TOFS home page or directly on this link: http://www.tofs.org.uk/index.php/news/article/print-out-your-awareness-week-poster-now/

Great work so far, thanks so much for your efforts.

Very best wishes,
Diane and all at TOFS

We’re holding a charity do on 16th October at Langho Football Club, Blackburn. Only a small venue, holding 125 but all tickets have been sold!!
We just need to collect the money in.

We have been really lucky, with the revenue, printing of tickets, potate pie supper and band being free of charge. More profit!! Cost so far is £90 and tickets are £7.50 so looking good.

We have a great raffle with top prize of 2 tickets donated by UB40!!! along with Pentax digital camera with accessories, MOT, cut and blow, beauty vouchers etc plus lots more…..

Harriet’s nursery are also supporting awareness week and have sent out letters and are holding their own raffle.

All good stuff!!
