So just a quick update to first of all thank those who have already generously donated. Every donation no matter how big or small is so greatly appreciated and the two charities in question are so fantastic so I'd just like to take the chance to say thank you!

Secondly I've been brainstorming a lot with ideas for my main fundraiser and am just about settled on my first idea. Although I will have more information about that next week.

So that's all I really have to update with now! I promise I'll have quite a bit more interesting information for everyone in the coming week so please keep an eye on my page and thanks again!

Hi all! This is just a quick update to fill you all in on some spontaneous fundraising I did last weekend that pushed me up comfortably beyond 1/5 of my goal!

My debs was last week and my family and I decided to have a few of my friends from school come over in advance with their dates and families to see each other before heading off. When people were over I explained to a few of them about the nature of 100 minds and the charities they represent and I was bowled over by the response I received. 220 Euro was raised in just one hour which was really a phenomenal number. Unfortunately the donation entry is under the slightly impersonal name 'debs fundraiser' as I was not able to collect everyone details, but I really wanted to say a very sincere thank you to those who donated because this money will really make a huge difference to many people who sorely need it.

So all in all thank you so so much to those who have donated. I'll be updating again soon with further project information and until then try to keep out of the drizzly awful November weather we're having!

Hi all hope you're all doing well and are enjoying your weekends. I'm posting now to let you all know that I've decided on my second fundraiser and dates! I've decided to do a coffee morning with a raffle on the 10th January in my house.

I'll be going around local businesses to try and partner up and get some spot prizes over the next few weeks, and depending on the donations from local businesses I may even have an additional separate raffle outside of the coffee morning in the future.

Thanks again for everyone who has been following and donating, Your money and support will make a huge difference to both Barnrdos and Blossom Ireland. Keep an eye open for my next update!

Hi all this is just a quick update to let you all know that the coffee morning and raffle (on the 12th of January) organisation is well under way and its shaping up to be a really enjoyable and delicious morning!

I'd also like to take the chance to thank everyone who has donated so far. Your support has been overwhelming and I really appreciate it as do the two charities!

I've had some really generous raffle prize donations (which I shall unveil soon!) and I'm very hopeful that they'll encourage people to buy tickets to support these two fantastic charities.

That's really all from me for now, I hope you're all excited for Christmas and if you have any questions about the coffee morning just send me a message at baconandy95@gmail.com !

Hey all, Just a quick update to let everyone know that I've had to change the date of the coffee morning and raffle to the 24th of January. The timeline and location are still the same, 10:30-1 at my house and its still a Saturday!

Sorry if this puts anyone who would have liked to attend out, unfortunately I've had some unanticipated health issues come up and the 10th just wasn't looking feasible anymore!

Regardless, Id like to take another opportunity to thank everyone who has donated so far, your generosity is hugely appreciated by all of myself, Barnardos and Blossom Ireland! Also I'm really looking forward to the coffee morning and hopefully a great turn out and some good funds raised for two fantastic causes!

p.s Happy New Years!!

Hi all, I just wanted to post with an update that I'm really exited about! Over the last few weeks I've been setting up a fundraiser with the well known coffee branch BB's Coffee and Muffins, and I'm now in a position to tell you all what it's all about!

On the week of the 26th of January to the 1st of February BB's coffee and Muffins are going to team up with 100 minds to collect money for Barnardos and Blossom Ireland. There will be collection buckets in store all week and information about the work 100 minds are doing with Barnardos and Blossom Ireland, I'm very hopeful that this will raise some much needed funds for these two great charities as well awareness for their causes.

On top of this on the 29th of January there will be a specific time allocated wherein a percentage of profits from BB's sales will be donated to Barnardos and Blossom Ireland! This is fantastic news and will certainly serve as a great excuse to buy ourselves some coffee and muffins which is never a bad thing!

I'll keep you all posted on details as they arise, Hopefully I'll be seeing a good few of you soon for the coffee morning and raffle on the 24th!

Hi everybody, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has donated over the last couple of weeks. Over the course of the coffee morning and raffle along with the constant stream of generous donations we've been able to raise an astonishing 2797 euro! As I'm sure you're all aware this is no small feat, and will have an incredible impact on both Barnardos and Blossom Ireland.

The last two weeks have been incredibly humbling and I'd like to thank you all for you're incredible support. The extent of the money donated and also the enthusiasm for helping out and spreading the word has just been phenomenal and I cant thank you all enough!

I'll have news on The BB's fundraiser up here soon enough but until then take care and thanks again!
