Team Nadine
Donation protected
Team Nadine - was formed initially by our late dear friend Nadine King as a hub for funds from various fundraisers which went towards her various treatments and medicines needed during her 10 year battle with the Big C!
Over the years her amazing support group came together to sell cakes, walk for miles, arrange summer fairs, grow their beards, shave their heads, create quiz nights, donate amazing prizes for raffles and auctions and just literally do everything possible to raise money for such an inspirational human being!!
Last year we sadly lost Our Queen however her wish was for Team Nadine to continue to soldier on and help others in need. So that's what we are doing!!
This year we will be asking for families in need to be nominated (via our Team Nadine FB Page) to receive help from our funds and we will also continue to help charities who helped Nadine over the years.
For 2020 our aim is to continue with the fun events throughout the year! So far we have our Team Nadine Ambassador Challenges (more below) and in the Spring - All Day Family Rave (Big Team/Little Team), Summer we are planning a Summer Fair n BBQ, then a big ol' Christmas Party just like Nadine ordered at Epsom Downs Racecourse.
Nadine’s Girls - We start the first quarter focusing on raising money for Nadine’s little gang of girls that she left behind. As most of you know Tanya (Nads sister) is looking after the girls and it was Nadine’s wish that they stay together. The current situation is that Poppy and Daisy are still struggling to come to terms with losing their amazing mum. The result of this is emotional days, sleepless nights, broken school days and lots of anger, outbursts and feelings that they’ve just never experienced before.
Tanya is doing an OUTSTANDING job of holding it all together! However, all of the above means that it is almost impossible for her to work more than 2 days per week. These usually have to be weekends due to the type of works Tanya does.
To make life more difficult as Tanya is not yet the legal guardian for the girls, so she is not entitled to ANY help or benefits. She is also fighting to keep their home as this was in Nadine’s name etc so the plot thickens! To apply for the tenancy Tanya NEEDS to apply for legal guardianship ASAP and has started the process however, this will cost in the region of £2000 per child to formalise!
So the plan is for us to initially raise funds for this and as always we have our superstar Team Nadine Ambassadors at the ready to kick things off with 2 amazing challenges which we hope you can support and share!
