Our 50th Anniversary Appeal is up and Running!
Thank you already to those individuals and organisations who have made donations - both considerable and small!
Individual folk...
are doing all sorts of things to raise money for us:
Charlie (5) and Joseph (7) Helliwell sold unwanted toys at the Underbank Chapel, Stannington, Table Top Sale.
Stella Burney, Nightingale Centre Manager, said thank you to Maggie Lowthian for the splendid patches on her damaged favourite dungarees with a donation to SACH... and is entering the Endurer Challenge for which she hopes to get sponsorship on behalf of the 'Send A Child to Hucklow Fund.' Anyone interested in supporting Stella in this grueling event can do so by visiting the Nightingale Centre web site www.thenightingalecentre.org.uk
Some people have “Jars of Grace” to collect small change...
Rumour has it the Treasurer, David Ogden, is in training for the London Marathon... and Sue Woolley for a 10km Race.
Congregations...
Urmston had a “Lucky Dip” when visiting Great Hucklow.
Several congregations had a variety of Christmas collections – York, Bradford, Cross Street Manchester, Bury, Mansfield, York (an appeal througout December), Flowery Field.
Horwich made a generous donation, and Ipswich have held a variety of “bits&bobs” sales.
Revs John (a SACH Trustee) and Beryl Allerton held an “At Home”.
Special Services have been held at York, Cirencester, Oldham, Mansfield ( with some SACH children and leaders ), Kendal.
We apologise if someone has been left out: we're only human!

Who We Are
“Send-a-Child-to-Hucklow” Fund is a Trust to arrange and administer holidays at the Unitarian Holiday Centre, Great Hucklow, Derbyshire in the United Kingdom for groups of disadvantaged children,having no regard to religious, political, racial and other considerations.
Begun formally in 1961, on the initiative of Rev Peter Godfrey, the present Chair of Trustees, and Rev Glyn Pruce, to continue the tradition of the origin of Unitarian Holiday and Convalescent Homes in Great Hucklow at the end of the 19th Century, the Trust became a Registered Charity (No. 271585) in 1976.
With a few exceptions for special circumstances, all the holidays are offered at what is now known as “The Nightingale Centre”, echoing the original name of the main building on the Great Hucklow site.
The first holidays were in 1962: we look forward to the Golden Jubilee in 2012!
Reading about kids “sent to Hucklow” – and home again! - in the ‘60s This might well bring tears to the eyes. The kids today may, just may, be wearing the latest football shirts, but underneath the need is the same…
50 Years and still going strong
Our appeal is up and running, and already we acknowledge with thanks donations of 4 figures from individuals and one organisation, various other donations, a generous Legacy, and £34 from Joseph(7) & Charlie (5) Helliwell of Underbank Chapel, Stannington, who raised £34 selling "unwanted toys" at a Chapel Table Top Sale
