Fashion Show 2023

On Thursday 29th June we held a fashion show at The Dell Centre Ashtead.

Thank you to everyone that bought tickets we hope that you enjoyed the show and bagged some bargains!

Elaine was our lovely compare and Mary, Julie Joanne and Lynn modelled. Ellie was behind the scenes keeping us novice models in check and on schedule!

After the show there was time to browse through the rails and purchase some lovely item of clothing at discounted prices.

We raised a fantastic total of £806.18

An excellent total and a fun evening.

Thank you to all those that attended and showing your support.

Maria’s Obstacle Run

Thank you Maria.

Maria Clarke Green is taking place in a 12km Obstacle Course on Saturday 13th May.

What’s even better is that she’s just smashed through her £500 target and so has upped the target to £1000! We’d love for you to help get her there by donating at https://justgiving.com/fundraising/maria-clarke-green.

Thank you Maria and best of luck.

The Nijmegen Four Day Marches

We know that our flat is appreciated but it is always nice to have this confirmed.

The Brookes Family stayed at the flat in November while their son (Ollie) was undergoing intensive treatment. Very kindly Terry (Dad) and two friends Jimmy & Ian are raising funds for us and two other charities by taking part in The Nijmegen Four Day Marches.

Taking place in July over four days, Terry, Jimmy and Ian will march up to 50 kilometres a day. All being R.E.M.E veterans, we know that they will have the mindset and drive to complete their task.

Ollie is doing well and according to Dad is an unbelievable young chap! We like to think that helping the family to stay together during Ollie’s long stay in hospital has contributed to his recovery and improved the mental state of Mum & Dad. As we all know family is so important.

Good luck guys. We know that the training is well under way, and we hope that it continues to go well.

If you would like to support this gallant effort and keep up with their progress, please follow the link below.

2021 Newsletter

Thank you for your continued support this year. Your generosity and commitment to Emma’s Bubble Trust has helped us to continue to provide a comfortable place for young cancer patients and their families to stay when needed.

When we read the comments written in our Visitors Book we know that with your help we are making a difference!

We were able to hold our Charity Ball at the beginning of December which was a great evening and raised a fantastic total of £13,565

This has been our only event in almost two years so every penny raised is very much needed and appreciated.

Thank you to those that took part in our virtual Christmas raffle. Our winners were K Govier, S Stanley, P Manning, S Shepherd and Charlotte.

We are launching a ‘Give A Coffee” campaign from 1st  until 15th January. We ask that you give up one coffee and instead donate that money via Justgiving or our website. The price of one coffee will pay for the electricity for the EBT flat for one day. This will make a huge difference to our running costs.

On behalf of the EBT team I wish you a very Happy 2022 and once again thank you for your continued support.

Stay healthy and hopefully we shall see you at an event during the year.

Best wishes

Lynn Brandon

Trustee

Thank you to everyone that has donated and enabled Alison to reach such a fantastic amount. Every penny is very much appreciated and will go to supporting and providing a comfortable place to stay in our EBT flat so that families can be together when far from home during such a difficult time.

Keep up the running Alison, you are an inspiration to us all!

Alison Cutts runs the marathon

Hi my name is Alison and I’m privileged to be to running The London Marathon this October, for Emma’s Bubble Trust 💕

I am running in honour and memory of my gorgeous friend Caroline Welford, who passed away last year 💜

I am not a runner and have a love/hate relationship with it! But, I am determined to do this and make Caroline and Emma’s Bubble proud.

Training is going well I had a 13 mile run this week and I survived!

I would love it if you could sponsor me and help smash my fund-raising target. Anyone that does, can choose to add a song to my Marathon Playlist, whatever you fancy, to help me along on the big day.

This is my link, so don’t forget to leave your song choice in a message:)

Thank you in advance. Have a great day. Love Alison x
