Help The Children's Trust by collecting Tesco and Sainsbury School Vouchers

Since The Children's Trust was Incisive Media's selected charity for their 2009 Christmas Ball, we at Lamb have offered our services to help them wherever we can. They were delighted with the amount of money raised at the Ball; more than £15,000 at the last count and this money has gone to great use helping them in their efforts to help children with acquired neurological problems.

Their work continues though and they are currently collecting the school vouchers distributed by Tesco and Sainsbury. These are invaluable to them and last year they were able to obtain sports equipment and a computer.

This is where you can help. If you shop at either of these stores and are offered the vouchers but do not have a use for them, then collect them, place them in an envelope and send them to Lamb and we will pass them on.

Lamb Creative Marketing, Studio 204, 116 Commercial Street, London, E1 6NF

Lamb adopts Children's Trust as its charity to help

Following Lamb's successful campaign to help Incisive Media promote their Christmas Ball and the work for their chosen charity; The Children's Trust, Lamb has offered its help the charity in an effort to help promote the fine work they undertake.

The Children's Trust is this year marking its 25th anniversary in providing education, therapy and rehabilitation to children with multiple disabilities, complex health issues and acquired brain injury. The support is provided at a dedicated centre located at Tadworth in Surrey. Up to 70 children can be cared for at any one time and during the course of the year it will help around 250 children. Stays at Tadworth can range from a few days to give parents respite, up to permanent residency from birth to adulthood.

Lamb were invited to visit the centre and witness first hand the work that is done.  The sheer scale of what is done there is astonishing. It covers a site of many acres and has facilities to house, educate, rehabilitate, provide primary medical care and entertain. The staff to child ratio is almost 6 to 1, with there being around 400 staff. The levels of support are extraordinarily close and intensive. It is quite mind-blowing to then think about how much it costs to provide this outlet and how it benefits so many national institutions such as the NHS and Local Education Authorities.

If anyone has doubt about its worth though, then to see the improvements in the quality of life of the children and the success stories that it brings is inspiring and you soon come to realise the great work that is being done. This is why Lamb has offered to help in supporting their fundraising activities and to provide whatever practical help we are able.
