The outstanding efforts and stories of a group of exceptional young people were celebrated in style at the Inspirational YoungStars Awards on Friday night.

It was the showcase of an initiative launched in partnership between the Cambridge Independent and Cambridge Charity Fundraisers to spotlight the brilliant work and stories of youngsters across society.

There was a full array of emotions on display at the awards dinner, which was hosted by BBC Look East’s Jonathan Park.

After the emotional citations of some of the winners, the compere for the evening conducted some superb interviews, with the responses of the young interviewees drawing laughs all round.A judging panel which included Lord Lieutenant Julie Spence, and representatives of Mick George, Cambs FA, Cambridge Charity Fundraisers and the Cambridge Independent felt that the strength of the nominations merited a far broader scope for the awards and increased the range from four to 10 individual award winners, with a further four highly commended.

I was in conversation with Paul Harrison who works at Addenbrookes Hospital and he told me that the children’s A & E department were looking for gifts for the children that find themselves in that department.
​
I approached Tesco on Newmarket Road and met the Community Champion Julie Izzard who was simply incredible and arranged for a number of gifts to be donated to CCFR to enable us to forward them on to Sophie Barber at Addenbrookes. 

We must also thank Louis Hrebeniak , Ashley Taylor from the Cambridge United FC Community Trust who donated items of football kit for the children in total 350 items were donated to the hospital and as a thank you some of the staff in the A & E department wore some of the larger kits.

THANKS TO TESCO & JULIE IZZARD FOR DONATING THE ABOVE GIFTS

Dear Ian, Paul and the rest of the team,

I am writing on behalf of the team at Addenbrookes Hospital, Paediatric Emergency department. The team and I wanted to say a massive, massive thank you for your support with donations this year. Thank you for also seeking support from wider networks such as Tesco, this is truly amazing, please pass our thanks on to them too and anyone else who donated. It is so appreciated and I wish you could be here to see the difference it makes.

When Children come into the emergency department it is often a very traumatic time for them, they will often undergo a lot of tests and procedures which can be very scary. Children will often spend many hours in the Emergency Department and sometimes will be admitted or go home. This can be very stressful for the whole family. So, as the Therapeutic Play Specialist it is my role to ensure they have positive hospital experiences, engage in play and fun activities and are awarded for their incredible bravery. It is donations like yours which make an incredible difference to the experience we can provide children in hospital, it puts a smile on the little ones faces despite the horrid times they have had, and it allows the nurses to bond with the child in a positive way despite the procedures they may have engaged in beforehand. It gives us all a reason to smile despite the extremely challenging times.
​
Thank you will never explain how truly grateful we are for your support and I can never explain in words the real difference it will make, but honestly, you’re going to make a lot of children very happy. I look forward to working with you in the future. 

See below the photo in the department and a letter received from Sophie Barber

Thank you again! Have an amazing Christmas and Happy New year,

Sophie Barber – Therapeutic Play Specialist, Paediatric Emergency Department, Addenbrookes Hospital
 
The above letter is exactly what CCFR has been about for the past 15 years, We have always tried to help change people’s lives’ for the better  and there is no better feeling than being able to help the children that find them requiring treatment at Addenbrookes.

We have agreed with Sophie Barber to continue supporting them during 2022 and would ask any shops, companies, businesses etc that have any unwanted soft toys, games , sports clothing etc to get in touch with us . We are happy to collect any items that can be donated and will obviously thank them on our website.

Thanks to everybody who has supported CCFR during 2021 and we wish everybody a Happy New Year.

A Sad Farewell To A Loyal Friend

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of our very good friend Mick Curtis.

Mick was one of the first anglers to join CCFR and was always keen to make a donation and support our fishing events, but it didn’t finish there as Mick was always keen to offer support to the other anglers and over the years lent me several rigs especially his paste rigs for what he was well known for in the summer months.  He was a very accomplished angler winning lots of silverware over the years.  Mick was very kind, compassionate, and a true gentleman. Sadly there are few people like that in the world today.  We will all miss his sense of humour and his long, long conversations held on the bankside. He was a wonderful man, and a great friend to so many people.  I will be forever grateful for all that he did for me in helping with Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers and his generosity in supporting our events was incredible.

I could never repay all that he did for me and CCFR, I have spoken to Mick’s wife Ros and agreed that I will introduce a new award during our 2022 fishing series, one which anglers will be able to compete for in years to come.

Myself and all from CCFR extend our deepest sympathy to Ros and family and wish to let them know how much we share their pain at this sad time.

Ian Darler and everybody at Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers

Michael's funeral is on the 21st December at 10.30am at Barton Woodland Burial site . CB23 7BA
In Friendship & Sorrow.

Walking for SHOUT85258

10/9/2021

Hi All
​
With the help and support from Dave Matthew-Jones and Mr Godric Smith I have set myself a challenge to walk a million steps by the 1st January 2022 with all funds raised being donated to SHOUT85258

I would like to ask for your help in raising funds for Shout85258 , Shout is a 24 hour crisis text line giving support to anyone who needs it.

Please see the link below to read my story and make a donation.

www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/Shout85258?utm_term=MZj5ZYpKp&fbclid=IwAR02UpOCQmo-NEngGyxwijPLMWprRAMJqWSCFROOL0SlN1lWabbTUKklV4Q

Any donation would be very much appreciated . Could I ask you to consider sending the link to two other companies / people in the hope that we can increase the publicity and generate funding and through SHOUT 85258 offer a lifeline to those who may be struggling with day to day life ? your donation could save a life.

I am hoping that companies will make a donation to show their support for mental health in the work place and the general public will also make a donation to help provide funding for those who struggling with their mental health. Start talking about how you are feeling both at work and at home.

Updates will be posted on my charity website cambridgecharityfundraisers.com

Thank you in advance of your help and support.
