Saturday Night Takeaway with Ant and Dec was elevated to new levels with the surprise appearance of our very own Matthew Sturgeon (Founder of ABOAB).   Matthew continues to raise substantial funds so that we can do what we do.   Matthew, Jane, Emily and Jack all deserve the thanks that Ant gave on the show.  We hope that they have a fantastic time in Florida.

Whisky Galore!

/in /by

Big, big, thanks to our lovely Matthew Sturgeon for his generosity and genius idea of selling his bottles of whisky during December to make a unique Christmas present! The sales of his Bruichladdich Single Malt raised an amazing £1,100 for A Bit of a Break. At an average of about £180 per holiday that means we can offer 6 more holidays for families living with terminal illness. Incredible! Thanks Matthew and good luck with this week’s Project Lighthouse ride.
