What?

Fractured Vision

Fractured Vision is an exhibition from registered charity The Eye Fund, featuring a newly released range of graphic designs from Simon Sherry, whose premature passing at just 39 years of age gave rise to this effective and supportive charity.

Simons designs are complemented by an incredible range of work from degree students at Wirral Met College, their lecturers (some of whom are professional artists in their own right), as well as volunteers and patrons of Ashville Lodge amongst others.

When?

From 22nd to 28th November 2010 between 10:00am to 4:00pm. The official opening is at 4-6pm on Monday November 22nd, by invitation only. Admission after that point will be free.

Where?

To be held at The Gallery, Birkenhead Park, Wirral, CH41 4HY.

Hacked

Some interesting character thought it would be a nice idea to hack a charity site, so we’ve had some downtime to repair the damage they caused. We’ve moved to a new server, updated our security, and almost got everything back … Continued

Speak The Web donate to The Eye Fund

Written by

We were recently given a donation of £500 by Speak the Web. They ran a series of small, intimate, low cost web design & development events in the style of a gig, providing inspiring talks by both experienced and new speakers for a low cost which were easy to access. This donation means a lot to The Eye Fund, as Simon would be thrilled to know a bunch of geeks had raised some money in his honour.

Donations

Written by

We have had 2 very good donations recently; one of £500 from The Eleanor Rathbone Trust and one for £200 form The Proven Family Trust. I sent about 50 letters out to various Charity Trusts asking for donations. It’s worked up to now.

So, as you can see, we have had a very busy and successful year. However, we would like a little more help. Is there anyone out there who would like to lend a hand now and again? Perhaps you could organise a quiz night or jumble sale or coffee morning. Anything would be welcome.

Thank you.

Craft Fair in the Pavilion, Birkenhead Park

Written by

I think the people in Birkenhead must be getting fed up with us by now. (Only kidding) They have been very generous. This was anew craft fair that hadn’t been there before and we were offered a free table as we are a charity. We couldn’t miss this opportunity to get to know other stall-holders and raise even more for the charity. It was over the 2 days but only from 11.00am to 3.00pm. We finished the weekend taking £225.00.
