SupERkids Silent Disco
Message from Nicola Kelly SupERkids
Charity Status Achieved……….
As a thank you to everyone (past or present) child, parent, support worker, funder, fund raiser, supplier and everyone else to numerous to name, who has helped us get this far, we are hosting a silent disco party from 7.00 to 11pm on Friday 15th November at Carmichael Hall (the hall beside Eastwood Theatre).
I attach an invitation for you and your family and I hope you can come along to help us celebrate SupERkids generally and this milestone in SupERkids evolution which was granted charitable status in October.
This is a non-supported family event, so that everyone can enjoy the evening, and as such there will be no charge to attend.
We hope that you can come along to help us celebrate and if you could, let us know that you can come along and who you will be bringing along that would be great help in making sure there is enough food and drink to make the night a success.
