‘When we first moved into our new business premises we were short of space, however what made it so much better was having a local company who helped us get the support we wanted, the stress they took away helped with the transition in getting our new premises up and running in no time at all, The Amvar Group knew what they were talking about and listen to what are needs were in the space and time we had’.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

FROM EVERYONE AT SWEET CAUSES LTD

WISHING ALL OUR CUSTOMERS THE VERY BEST FOR 2018 AND A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT LAST YEAR. 

HERE IS WISHING ALL OUR CUSTOMERS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

AND

A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS FOR YOUR SUPPORT THIS PAST YEAR

Over the past 18 months, we have watched a brand new amazing clinical building being develop right before our very own eyes..

‘WATERFALL HOUSE’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g4y4Slt5hE&feature=youtu.be

We thought you would appreciate a sight of the following time lapse video which shows the progress, and confirms that the Centre will open in January 2018.

In case you didn’t know Waterfall House will be the home for a new Cancer Centre, The Paul O’Gorman Centre (Top 3 Floors) and also a new Centre for Rare Diseases (First Floor), which we and many others supported via ‘The Big Hoot Appeal’ and Auction in 2015.

By the way our ‘Owlfred’ now sits in the foyer of The Birmingham Symphony Hall propping up the bar and is very happy there.

Through the Star Appeal, everyone involved were able to raise a staggering total of £3.65million, which totally funded the new Centre for Rare Diseases,

and it will be the first of its kind in the UK.

This is a ground-breaking approach, and everyone is all looking forward to hearing about the immediate impact this new facility will have on the many families and the 9,000 children Birmingham Children’s Hospital treat with Rare Diseases. It will also influence and change the way the hospital approaches treatments for these special patients not only around the UK, but also around the world.

To all of you who supported this appeal a very big thank you.

Oh! so the next time you hear someone say ‘What do you want to buy an Owl or a Bear for?’

Well now you know why!

The 2017 Christmas Tree Festival is once again here at Lichfield Cathedral, what they raise over the next coming weeks will go to The Friends of Lichfield Cathedral who support the work of this magnificent cathedral. The Festival runs from the Saturday 2nd December 2017 right through to 3rd January 2018.  In December alone, the cathedral brought in over 40,000 visitors through its doors last year and The Christmas Tree Festival event brought over 10,000 to the Cathedral, each person has the opportunity to vote for a tree which they think is their favourite by purchasing a token, there are also prizes for the top three winners. https://www.lichfield-cathedral.org/news/news/post/210-the-trees-are-coming
