Today has been a pretty difficult day for me, falling as it does on the first anniversary of our wedding last year, but work carries on with the charity...
Yesterday (Sunday 18th) saw the first meeting of the GBHT trustees in the Landseer Pub - a real favourite Sunday haunt of mine and Gareth's which you can find just off Holloway Road en route to Archway. I'm firmly of the opinion that good ideas rarely surface in draughty meeting rooms and are more likely to blossom after being fuelled with a good pub lunch.
We discussed many practical things from how we were going to launch the charity, to the number of Patrons, but the most ambitious thing we did was set the fundraising target. It's pretty bold, but we reckon that with a strong focus on some high value fundraising events, such as a gala dinner in the Autumn, we should be able to make £50,000 in the first year. If you've got any good ideas for raising money, or organisations who might be willing to put in some cash, do get in touch at jessica@jessicaasato.co.uk or post a comment!
