Happy New Year!

2012-01-01T22:00:00.001+00:00

Well, we are starting 2012 feeling very positive. We have lots of continued support as well as knowing we have some new support for 2012. Thank you to everyone who supported us in 2011, especially Big Yellow Self Storage at Bramall Lane who met all our storage needs meaning that we could send families on holiday instead of worrying about paying high costs of storing all our bits and pieces.

So far four organisations have chosen Amy's Retreat for 2012, the Copthorne Hotel at Bramall Lane, Britannia Building Society on Pinstone Street (£1000 target) as well as the Broomhill Festival and Nether Edge Summer Farmers Market.

We will continue to celebrate 10 years in which Amy's Retreat has helped families who have children with cancer, and this is a great start to the year!

The University Arms will be providing a very warm welcome after the event. Hope to see you there.

10th Anniversary Masquerade Ball!

2011-11-12T16:51:00.000+00:00

We had a fantastic time marking Amy's Retreat's 10th year of helping families who have children with cancer. On 28 October at Baldwin's Omega, the 10th Anniversary Masquerade Ball saw a wonderful selection of masks and very well turned out people and we raised in excess of £3500! The money will go directly to arranging more holidays for families in need. Andy Finnerty was superb as our MC and the very talented James Smith and Katie Dolling sang during our dessert, before we danced the night away. We are very grateful to several local businesses and generous individuals for sponsoring the event.

Daniel Barnett Art Cancer Foundation

2011-06-10T12:51:00.000+01:00

The Daniel Barnett Art Cancer Foundation was created in memory of Daniel to raise money for cancer charities and to provide financial help to families dealing with cancer. Daniel was an incredible artist who gained a place at Goldsmiths University but sadly passed away at the age of 19 before he could start his degree. His family are now selling canvas prints of his artwork to help others going through cancer. All of Daniel’s artwork featured on the site is for sale as canvas prints. All proceeds are going to the charities who supported Daniel and his family, including Amy's Retreat. Daniel and his family went on an Amy's Retreat holiday to Center Parcs in December 2006.
