A day of sunshine at the SE Centre

Brainwave's South East Centre in Witham, Essex held an Open Day on Friday, 10th July. We wanted to raise awareness of the therapy work that we do with children and so invited members of the public, local groups and organisations to come and see us and to meet some of our families. We were very fortunate that the weather stayed fine so that people were able to go out into our garden and see our garden toys.

Over 30 people came to see us and were given a tour of the Centre. Our visitors included potential new families, local dignitaries, business contacts, The High Sheriff of Essex, the Chairman of Braintree Council, the Deputy Mayor of Witham, the President of Witham Lions Club and ten members of Witham Rotary Club. The latter presented us with a very welcome cheque for £800 that they had raised at their Jazz Concert. We were also delighted that Dee Gordon, an Essex author, who has written about famous Essex women, attended and conducted a book signing with donations going to the Charity.

We would like to thank everyone who attended our S.E. Centre Open Day, especially our families, who spoke to the visitors, and volunteers from Goldman Sachs, for taking the time and effort to come along and support us and helping to make this Open Day a very pleasant and successful event.
