📣 Following on from our post last week about roofing...

We’re now on the lookout for scaffolding to help move the project forward! Specifically, we need around 50 linear meters with lifts to allow the amazing team at Safeseal Roofing to do their thing 🛠️

If anyone can help out—whether you're in the trade or know someone who might be—please get in touch with us. Every bit of support makes a huge difference 💛

We’re really keen to get the roofing sorted before the weather takes a turn, so any help would be massively appreciated!

Thank you, as always, for supporting the Darren Deady Foundation CIC 🙌

📅 On Saturday 6th September, a group of our directors and incredible members of the public will be taking on an emotional and challenging 26-mile walk from Southport Pier to Wigan Pier — all in honour of Kingsman Darren Deady, who sadly lost his life as a result of injuries sustained in Afghanistan while serving with the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment 🇬🇧

Darren passed away on 10th September 2010. This year marks 15 years since Darren’s passing, and what better way to honour his legacy than by continuing his spirit of service.

💙 In his memory, we’ve recently secured the former Washacre Centre, which we’re transforming into a much-needed Veterans Centre — a safe space dedicated to supporting veterans who need help, community, and support.

This walk is not just a tribute — it's a fundraiser. Every step we take is to raise vital funds for the renovation and running costs of the centre. Every single penny counts in helping us bring this dream to life for the veteran community.

👣 Want to walk with us? We’d love to have you on board — please get in touch!

💷 Want to donate? Please consider contributing via:
🔹 Bank Transfer: Account Name: Darren Deady Foundation CIC Sort Code: 10083169 Account Number: 82-12-08 OR
via the donate button on our website www.ddeadyfoundation.co.uk

Thank you for your continued support. Let’s do this for Darren — and for every veteran who needs a lifeline. 💪

🇬🇧 HAPPY VE DAY 🇬🇧

VE Day 80 is not only a tribute to those who fought for the freedom we all enjoy today, but also a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity that have defined our country ever since.

"I say that in the long years to come not only will the people of this island but of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, look back to what we’ve done and they will say “do not despair, do not yield to violence and tyranny, march straightforward and die if need be-unconquered.”" ~ Sir Winston Churchill, May 8, 1945
