Aspire changes lives!
Spinal Cord Injury has a devastating effect on the 1,200 people who become paralysed each year. Aspire’s projects and services have a very simple goal - to provide the support needed to take those who use them from injury to independence.

Deborah Bodsworth held a charity Fun Day at the Grove restaurant in Barton on Bank Holiday Monday and children were treated to free face painting and balloon making and a barbecue.

Jodie Gladish held a Pink or PJ’s  charity day at work. Everone donated £1 to wear either pink  clothing or pyjamas. Jodie also organised a cake sale, a raffle and a ‘Guess the baby photo’ contest.

Natalie Jackson held 2 successful   ‘Beauty Days’  . People were invited for a mini treatment - neck and shoulder massage, nail paints, eyebrow shapes and hand massages - and to chill out with a glass of champagne in the garden. Everybody enjoyed being pampered - and all for charity !

Jasmine Chavda encouraged all of the children at her old lower school (Houghton Regis Lower School) to bake cookies and sell  them at their school tuck shop at 15p each. The Headmistress, Mrs Gamble, said that the children thoroughly enjoyed baking the cookies and put all sorts of decorations on them! She said they worked really hard to sell them  and  all funds raised  are for Aspire.
