’m pleased to be able to share with you our Fund Raising Events for 2018. This is our 13th year of fundraising for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), raising awareness and funds for research and to help local people suffering with the disease. The support from our local community has been amazing and long may it continue. Please put these dates in your diary your support really would be appreciated. Also we are looking for volunteers who would like to do a small amount of baking either cakes or savouries for our Bake It for MND. Plus after last year’s successful Community Family Fun Day we are doing it again this year, and we are pleased that the 60s Group The Delmont’s will
be performing. There will be something for all age groups to enjoy. We would like to appeal to anyone who would like to donate a decent prize for our tombola and raffle. This is an event where all the community can come together and have a really enjoyable time. Finally if anyone would like to be part of our MND Team for the Redcar Half Marathon, then you would be more than welcome, we will pay your registration fee if you can guarantee £50 sponsor money.

Victory for North Skelton Band
N
North Skelton Band clinch top title at North of England Regional Brass Band competition.
orth Skelton claimed a clear victory in a group of 8 second section North of England brass bands on the 17th March and will now represent the area of Cleveland & Teesside at the National Finals in Cheltenham in September. Playing a piece of music named Ex Terra Lucem depicting the effects of the industrial revolution on a Merseyside town by composer Jonathan Bates, the work gave a platform for the bands soloists to demonstrate their craft. The bands principle euphonium player Chris Coupland from Redcar received a well deserved trophy for the best Euphonium and the band also came away with best percussion and best Bass section. To celebrate their success the band are holding a concert at the Community Theatre in Saltburn on Saturday 16th June where Jonathan Bates himself will be joining us. But of course our trip to the Nationals will have to be funded as we have hotel, travel and rehearsal facilities and as there are 29 players involved it will be quite an amount to finance... We are holding concerts, coffee mornings and Race nights and our conductor Lewis Wilkinson’s mum Lesley is cycling over 200 mikes from London to Paris on the 28th June for us! Anyone wishing to donate to her cause can find the details by logging onto JustGiving. com and typing in North Skelton Band/Lesley Wikinson

Anna Turley Junction Fundraiser
R
edcar Labour MP Anna Turley is holding a charity night on Friday 25th May to fundraise for local charity, The Junction Foundation, who support vulnerable young people and carers. The MP has teamed up with Teesside-based rock group, The Fire, to host an evening of music at Eston Labour Club. The band perform some of the biggest hits from the 60s and 70s, including from groups such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Kinks (plus a few other surprises). The Junction are based in Redcar and provide support to children and young people in our community, helping them deal with personal challenges, develop confidence and selfesteem, and to unlock their potential. One particular group of young people they support is young carers, who take on the adult pressures of caring responsibilities whilst their peers are out enjoying growing up. Speaking about why she has arranged the charity night, Anna said: “I am really pleased to be supporting The Junction Foundation as my charity of the year 2017/18. They do amazing work helping vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in our community, on issues like mental health, homelessness, unemployment, debt and money problems, substance misuse, and young carers. The one on one, personally tailored support they provide is invaluable to the young people they help. “I have arranged this charity night to help raise funds to support the amazing work they do and to help them reach out to
more young people in our community who could benefit from their support. The Fire are a great local band and I am pleased they have agreed to support the event. It’s going to be a great night and I hope lots of you can make it to help raise money for a brilliant cause.” Tickets are £10 and include a pie and peas supper. They can be purchased from Anna Turley’s office at 10 Milbank Terrace in Redcar, as well as Eston Labour Club. You can call Anna’s office on 01642 485138 or emailanna. turley.mp@parliament.uk.
