Laura’s Disney 10k Challenge
Laura is running her first ever 10k on the 22 September !!
She’s going to do the run at Disneyland, as she loves Disney so much and is raising money for Emma’s Bubble Trust, so please show your support and make a donation however large or small via the link below:
Thank you to all those who supported our soft toy tombola, at Ashtead Rotary Village Day yesterday.
It was a beautiful day and someone even attended in an Emma’s Bubble Trust pink car!
A particular thank you must go to Simon Caird, a local estate agent, who made a generous donation on the day.
A huge thank you to everyone who donated a soft toy for our stall and to everyone who supported us on the day.
A great time was had by all and we even had a celebratory drink for Harry and Meghan too
A huge thank you to Sandra Hagger and Susan Burton who have supported our charity over the years. They very kindly made this beautiful quilt to commemorate this year being our 10th anniversary of the charity being founded.
Raffle tickets were sold and the lucky winner was Sandra’s boss! We had lots of disappointed ticket holders but thanks to the girls we raised much needed funds. We really do appreciate Sandra and Susan’s wonderful talent and I’m sure the winner will enjoy all their hard work.
Well what a night we had on Saturday 9th December 2017 at Woodlands Park Hotel for Emma’s Ball!Â
This year’s Ball was one of our biggest yet with 139 guests attending the event to raise money for our cause. Guests arrived for reception drinks at 6.30pm and were seated for dinner at 7pm, with food choices having already been made. As usual our Master of Ceremony David took charge of the room, encouraging people to get involved with the Table Auction, Raffle and most importantly the Auction.
We were very lucky to have been presented with many auction prizes this year and a HUGE thank you must go out to everyone that kindly donated…as through a combination of all of our fundraising efforts we managed to raise just shy of £9000!
To put this in perspective this amount of money will allow us to continue to maintain our flat that we purchased 2 years ago that assists teenagers that are receiving treatment at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton. This amount is extra special as it means that we are able to continue this funding for the next 7 months, so a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that bid on auction prizes, took part in the raffles and most importantly donated!

So many thanks to the team at Healix Group in Esher who ran a bake sale for us and raised an amazing £198.22!
Here’s a note from Nicola Gill:
We had a great day selling cakes in our office in aid of Emma’s Bubble Trust. We loaded our trolley up with goodies for the 11am mid morning break, which went down very well with the staff, especially Adam D’s coffee cake which sold out in under an hour! We then made our rounds again at 3pm so that everyone could have an afternoon pick me up. The leftovers (and there wasn’t much left!) were left out for the weekend staff. A big thank you to all of our bakers who created some delicious goodies! A very successful bake sale!
In order to pay for the Ball, please send £69 per ticket to the following bank account:

Amanda Ladies Fashions of Ashtead every year hold a fantastic Fashion Show for the local community and we were very lucky to be the supported charity this year! The show itself was fantastic with Amanda offering selective labels and beautiful clothes for every occasion, casual to smart chic.
For over thirty years Amanda Ladies Fashions has clothed thousands of extremely satisfied customers, you will find beautiful fashions for women of every generation and for every occasion – day or evening, smart or casual. Amanda’s appeal is embodied by a mix & match of trendy and iconic pieces combining know-how, an ever-present pursuit of quality, attention to detail and customer service that is second to none.
On the night of the show we managed to raise an amazing £2780.10, so a huge thanks to everyone from the local community that attended and enjoyed the wine, food, Basil on the piano and of course the fantastic clothes.
We’d also like to say a huge thank you to Michael Everett for sponsoring the evening by providing all of the wine.

We recently received the below email from Graham Jelley the Premises & Facilities Manager at The Family Building Society:
You may recall we met very briefly last month in the HSBC bank in Epsom High Street, whilst we were both doing some banking.
I have nominated EmmasBubbleTrust to be one of the charities our staff Sports & Social club support this year, and I am pleased to say this was accepted earlier today at the club’s AGM.
Throughout the year we undertake a whole range of sports & social events as well as regular ad-hoc events during the working week creating an opportunity for the staff to help raise funds for our chosen charities.
I will be in touch again shortly, but in the interim if you would like to discuss the charity with me in more detail then please let me know, and I wish you and the rest of Emma’s Army good luck with your fund raising.
A big thank you goes out to Graham for suggesting us. As you can imagine we’re absolutely over the moon and can’t wait to see what events the team plan over the course of the next year!
Thank you to everyone who came to support us at our Garden Party and Fayre today (or on Sunday) in Epsom. The sun shone and we all enjoyed prosecco or tea and cakes on the lawn and then went shopping at the ‘Garden Fayre’ in the next door garden.
Many thanks to everyone who came along and very special thanks to all the lovely people who came selling goods, plants and flowers, jewellery, clothes, gifts and much more.
Thank you to all the lovely committee members for all their hard work- worth it in the end!!
