Our First Event..... And The Next.....


I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who braved appalling conditions to the open night at SHAK HQ a great evening and a great start to a major project that will have such a positive influence on not only the charity, but everyone who comes through the doors.


I arrived early to set up, and all of a sudden turned around and the place was full..... After all the hardwork put in by so many people over the last few weeks it really was great to see. By the time the evenings proceedings started with the premiere of the new promotional video which is below, there was very limited standing room only, and it was great to have such an audience for not only myself but for our special guest Leigh Smyth of Essential For Equilibrium.


"Good night at the Shak HQ launch. fab facilities in alnwick and lots of exciting things to come. A fabulous charity doing a fabulous job !"

"Open night at SHAK HQ was a great success. A good turn out on such an awful night. Lots of more exciting & new things to come."

"The place is looking great!! And excited about the future. The talks were great and the turn out was pretty good :) fingers crossed for 2016 "

"Excellent turnout for such a wet evening. You must be so proud of all that you are achieving."

"Thank you so much for inviting me to a most enjoyable and friendly evening last night at the new SHAK's HQ. Good luck with your new premises and all the best."


A special thank you too for the people who have believed in me from day one that this could work, and for supporting me by not only giving their support, their time and expertise, but also contributing financially to make the open night as special as it was. I couldn't of done it without you all.
