Regular supporter and Patron of the charity, Timmy Mallett, has surprised us yet again, this time introducing his friend and Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans to Children Today. Timmy recently painted a portrait of Chris’s young son, Noah. Chris and wife Natasha are delighted with the portrait, so delighted that they wished to make a donation to a charity of Timmy’s choice. Without hesitation Timmy mentioned Children Today and told us, ‘Chris asked me to paint the portrait secretly as a present for his wife Natasha… I surprised her with the painting – tears flowed and we were reminded of the blessing of having a family and the work (Children Today) do to give today’s children a future.’ The donation received from Chris and Natasha will help Children Today fund equipment for at least eight children living with disabilities throughout the UK. This is a wonderful gesture from Chris Evans. Our thanks and best wishes go to Chris, Timmy and both their families for their generosity and continued support.

Four students from Manchester University, Leonie Knight, Daniel Slack, Laura Bosworth and Kate Borissova generously agreed to raise funds for a specialised trike for Connor. On one wet and windy afternoon they cycled 26 miles! Collectively they have raised a fabulous £609.29 which smashes their target of £500! Children Today would like to say a big thank you for all their hard work.
Children Today are looking for children from the Bolton area to help smash a world record! On Wednesday 24th March 2010 at Bolton Wanderers Football Stadium, we would like to involve hundreds of children in the largest performance of Ring a Roses. All the children will gather in the stadium and recite the nursey rhyme five times.
Pictured is Regional Fundraising Manager Elizabeth Oakes with pupils from Devonshire Road and Thomasson School, who are taking part, Lofty the Lion, Adam Bogdan and Paul Robinson from Bolton Wanderers Football Club.
All that we ask is that each school raises £200 in sponsorship money. This money will go towards the purchase of specially adapted equipment for disabled children. If you would like you school to get involved please contact Elizabeth Oakes on 07990 510325.
