Scummers And Skates ! The Good Work So Far
Tuesday, 15th Apr 2014 16:26

cummers And Skates is an excellent organisation with Saints and Pompey fans raising money for good causes, here is what they have achieved so far.

The list below is incredible, even more so when you think the work has been done by everyday Saints & Pompey fans who have given their time and effort to raise money to help those less fortunate, the list below is impressive, why not look them up on Facebook or the links below.

What we have been able to achieve so far with monies donated by the good people supporting us....

1) A tracker for Brandon to stop him straying.

2) Brandon's front garden entirely fenced off to give him a secure area to go outside and watch the buses he loves.

3) A monitor for Jamey Lee so mum does not have to sleep on her settee anymore as she can watch littl'un by video monitor and it will send an alarm if Jamey Lee stops breathing, plus £500 to Little J's Trust.

4) £500 cheque to St.Catherines School Sandown. (Jack's school)

5) £500 cheque to Heathfield Special School Fareham. (Jaiden's school)

6) £500 cheque to Aidens Walking Appeal.

1) BRANDON.....Brandon has severe learning difficulties, epilepsy, meningocele, deafness in one ear, bilateral cleft lip and palate, laryngospasm, anaphylaxis, asthma, exzema and a heart murmur. (And prone to wandering off,as we found this week).
CHARITY...Brandon's needs are more specific to him so we shall be helping him out.

This is simply brilliant and heartwarming. Such a pity it does not get more publicity and recognition. Wouldn't it be wonderful if before the final home game fans from both sides with some representation of those that benefitted were paraded around. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was mentioned on 606 etc instead of the endless coverage of some of the big teams. But most of all, it is a fantastic achievement.
