A big Thank you for all those who attended the Bob Brolley Concert, at Pelsall Community Centre, in honour of Deputy Mayor Cath Micklewright who sadly died in November 2008. It was a brilliant concert and there were alot of people who had really encouraging words to say regarding our work for individuals with Down's syndrome.

thanks for your support. We raised just over £800 at the concert and also thank you to all those people who donated money at Caths funeral instead of flowers. A total of £465 was raised from this Thank you to Gary Perry and his team who did alot of behind the work scenes in organising the whole event.

PROUD would not exist without peoples generous donations and fundraising, so it really is appreciated

A Big Thank you to all of those who supported our Early Years campaign. So far we have managed to save 5 teachers which is going to make a huge difference to the running of the Early Years Team.

We are still going to campaign that in future if there are going to be cuts in Education that parents have a right to know of these cuts as it will affect the quality of the service to their children

There will be a timeline when the current cuts are taking place which will fall in September 2009 and there may well be a shortfall in the service provided. If this is the case you need to make sure your voice is heard. It will make a difference and there are people listening as a result of our Early Years campaign we now have a platform on which to stand and let parents voices be heard so something can be done about it. Well done to all of you who supported and will continue to support the campaign.


Meanwhile a reminder that PROUD will be meeting on Saturday 4th April at Leighswood Childrens Centre, Broadmeadow, Aldridge 2pm - 4pm
