Party in the Park 2012

JUMP Children's Charity held it's first Party in the Park on Saturday 28th July at Risley Moss Nature Reserve. JUMP invited 15 children and their families to the party, and they were treated to a wonderful time in the park and woods of Risley Moss which included Punch & Judy show, Children's Entertainer Zippy and giant Wii and Xbox Kinect games. Also during the day the children and their family had a photo-shoot with our JUMP photographers and then enjoyed a Treasure Trail with the Risley Moss Park Ranger and then came face to face with Lizards, Snakes, a Skunk and Norman the Raccoon from the Home Safari team.

The day was made possible from the generous donation from Warrington Freemasons after the Sportsman's Dinner with Former Welterweight Champion Boxer John H Stracey, they held back in February. We were very glad to welcome a few of the Warrington Freemason team along to the Party in the Park so they could see first hand how the money they raised for JUMP Children's Charity was used and how it benefited the children and their families.

JUMP Children's Charity would like to thank everyone who helped make the day possible, from organising to all the volunteers who were there to help make the children's party in the park a truly special one.

If you would be interested in sponsoring this event for next year, or any other event for JUMP Children's Charity then please contact us

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.
