JUMP Blog gets over 1000 views

Thank you to everyone who had taken the time to read our blogs, giving latest news and developments of JUMP Children's Charity. Thanks to you, we have reached over 1000 views which is fantastic in the short time we have been blogging.

Over the past year JUMP Children's Charity has made a massive transition, for the better. We have had new members come on board, new Trustees and a new Patron, fund raising has grown and most important of all, the reason why JUMP Children's Charity exist, capturing our unique memories. We aren't even half way through the year yet and already we are on course of capturing 50 memories.

Another massive transition has been our re-branding, the whole image of JUMP Children's Charity has changed taking into the future, growing our corporate side and making our image more recognisable, not just to Warrington and the North West but to the whole country. For all this, we have to thank McCarthy Recruitment and Flexible Meetings who have helped and guided us through the transition and continue to support us going forward. They are hosting a massive event in October called Jacob's Moonlight Ball, which is being sponsored by Gordon Taylor OBE and The PFA. This promises to be a truly amazing night with many acts ready to entertain, including our Patron Carley Stenson performing songs from the West End. Tables for this amazing night can be purchased by downloading our Invitation, but hurry as they are going fast!

JUMP Children's Charity attends Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Northern Championships

On Saturday 17th March, JUMP Children's Charity attended the annual Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Northern Championships at the Birchwood Leisure & Tennis complex in Warrington. Martial Arts clubs from the North & Scotland got together to compete in the championships which helped towards raising money and awareness for our Children's Charity, and JUMP volunteers were also there with the information stand to give out leaflets and let everyone know about what our unique charity helps children that have life threatening health conditions.

The all day event had students competing in many different categories and age groups, from the Mighty Matts (aged 3-6) all the way up to adult, in different techniques, kick-boxing and hand drills, Martial Arts Forms and Sparring contests. Master Fiddes was also at the event presenting the medals to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed in all categories and all students that took part received a medal received a medal.

JUMP Children's Charity would like to thank Mr James of Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Widnes and all the Instructors from Matt Fiddes Martial Arts that helped organise and run the day, for raising money and awareness for us and also making it a fantastic event. Also, to all the students that took part and their spectators that donated to our charity. A donation was made to JUMP through ticket sales for the event and bucket collections made through the day, raising a total of £335 for funds to go towards creating an everlasting memory for a child




On a personal level, I had a wonderful day as my son, Archie Lowdon (aged 9) competed at the event, as he is a student of Mr James of Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Widnes. This was his first ever Martial Arts competition and he was feeling very nervous about it, but he did very well indeed winning the 3rd place Bronze medal for his category which was Hand Drills and Best Technique. He got through to the semi-final and lost, but then won his third place Bronze medal, shown in the video below.

JUMP attends VIP Business Networking Event

Last night, JUMP Children's Charity was invited to attend a VIP Business networking event, run by Matt Cork of Best of Warrington which bring together all kinds of businesses and organisations to network with each other to promote their service or product.

JUMP Children's Charity manager, Steven Stout MBE was invited by Steve James of Matt Fiddes Martial Arts in Widnes, who is also a Trustee of our Children's Charity, to attend the event and promote JUMP to local businesses showing how we help bring happiness and everlasting memories into children's lives.

Both Steve's chatted to local businesses to raise the profile of JUMP Children's Charity and build relationships with them which developed into offers for help from them in many different ways, making it a very successful night. Even more success on the night was from a raffle held, raising money for JUMP Children's Charity and kind donations from businesses. Steve Stout also took the floor to give a presentation to all there about our unique charity.

Many thanks to Steve Stout, Steve James and Alicia Leigh for all their fantastic support during the evening and to Matt Cork and Best Of Warrington for giving us the opportunity to promote JUMP Children's Charity amongst the business men and women of Warrington
