Thank you everyone for bidding on my auctions, both winners and losers. As you might have guessed I will choose NoRSACA's Raines Avenue Gardening Project as my chosen charity. These guys & girls get a lot of satisfaction from this project and with the help of some brilliant care workers they are learning to cope with life, that at times can be really a struggle. All the students are on the Autistic spectrum and need help with a lot of basic living skills and by participating in group activities like gardening learn to adapt to being around other people in a calm and relaxed way.




The picture above shows some of them making a raised bed on their allotment. I'm told it is now full of veg !!

So all the money raised goes direct to the project to buy various seeds, tools etc.

Well done, Mel - and you can count on me to support NoRSACA's Gardening project.
It's a super rewarding venture, and will bring a lot of pleasure to all concerned.

I see a few have listed items already, thank you so much. I have been in touch with their fundraising team and hopefully they will help promote the auction once again via their Facebook page.

Further to my post yesterday, I got this email.

Hi Mel

That’s fantastic news. Many thanks for letting me know. We will certainly promote this via Facebook as much as we can.
