Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation

Sponsor: Damien Garwood

NEW COLLEGE WORCESTER

NCW is a national residential school and college for children and young people aged 11 to 19 who are blind or vision impaired.

You can’t imagine how important the work of this College is to the lucky few who get a place. For Damien Garwood, one of our Archer’s Fans, it has played such an important part in his life that he wants to raise as much money as possible to help others.

The College plays a crucial role in the development of confidence and self-esteem, and prepares the students for life beyond the College

WARNING !
A picture tells a 1000 words. Serenata Flowers delivered this appalling bunch of flowers literally by throwing them over our garden gate for me to discover on the wet path a few hours later. Within minutes of seeing the embarrassment that they had sent, I had thrown them in our garden waste bin!

This campaign is sponsored by Damian Garwood who is himself blind and keen to support this college that has done so much for him.

 

He want's you to know how much help and happiness the College has bought him, and is very keen that some of the Archers Fans will be inspired to donate to the College so that it can continue to bring such life changing help to other blind people.

 

New College Worcester deserves you support for all the wonderful work they are doing with young people aged 11-19 who are blind or vision impaired.

 

Everyone there is dedicated to giving students not only a wide range of educational opportunities but equipping them with the independent living skills, confidence and self-esteem they will need, when the time comes for them to move on.

 

A truly excellent charity which really does deserve our support.
