A
t Pedder we continually work hard to support our local community as well as Cancer Research our registered Charity, which we continue to support with various fundraisers throughout the year for. However when Rachel Humphrey approached us with her charity ‘Funday’ we felt this was an event we had to support. Rachel’s son, Myles aged two, (also twin to his sister Mia), died following a nine-month battle with cancer, on 15th February 2014. Three weeks before he died, the charity 'Dreams Come True' made it possible for the whole family to visit London Zoo. Their trip was inspired by the fact that Myles loved the 'Dear Zoo' book by Rod Campbell. Myles got to feed the giraffes and get up close to some of the other animals, which he loved. The whole day gave them some wonderful memories that they will treasure for many years to come. Despite this awful time for Rachel and her family she still wants to help people who are going through the same thing, which is not only selfless but incredibly inspiring! She would like to help make other seriously and terminally ill children's dreams come true and give families, like hers, some
special memories. There are 50,000 children undergoing palliative care in the UK every year. Dreams Come True's passion is to try and reach every one of them. But they need as much help as possible to do so. The theme of the event is having fun but also with a zoo twist given Myles' story. Rachel hopes to raise as much money as possible for such a worthy cause. Rod Campbell will be making a personal appearance, and there will be plenty of entertainment for children, be it dance/music workshops, live animal shows, fancy dress competition (zoo animals only!) craft making, bouncy castle, face painting and sporty games. To support this worthwhile cause Pedder have donated a family trip to London Zoo for the winner of guess how many balloons in the car. We’re also trying to get as many people as possible to go by putting boards up in the local area. We’re so proud to be involved which such an amazing charity event.

edder are pleased to sponsor the parish of St Clement with St Peter Dulwich’s Summer Fayre. This will be held at the church on Sunday 7th September 12-2pm. We’ve been doing our bit to help by placing boards around the local community to get even more people involved. There will be all sorts of attractions including a bouncy castle, bottle tombola, raffle and sideshows. The event will also have live summer music and stalls with books, bric-a-brac and even a stall for the children. With BBQ and cakes for food we can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
