Elsie's Story Grants Vortex Cheer
This grant was a very special one for Elsie's Story. It would have meant so much to Elsie.
This year we have granted brand new crash mats to Vortex Cheer of Southport.
This has meant they have been able to secure their own premises, and the subscriptions from the cheer members goes back into the business. This has enabled Vortex Cheer to increase the number of classes they run on a weekly basis, ultimately meaning more cheer classes for the children and young adults of Southport!
Happy Cheerleading guys!

Elsie's Story Grants an Eye Gaze
Elsie's Story have granted an Eye Gaze to a local Southport family. This family have a little girl who was born with Cerebal Palsy. Jenni and Fran met with the family and met the little girl. To say we were blown away is an understatement!
The Eye Gaze will allow her to communicate both at home and at school.
The Eye Gaze Edge gives people the chance to take their lives back. It allows speech generation, web browsing, the ability to send emails, make calls and send texts along with the all important games to play. The Eye Gaze is all eye controlled!
From all of us here at Elsie's Story we wish this family a very Merry Christmas!

Elsie's Story Christmas Grants
Applications were made by both clinicians and family friends of familes that currently dealing with illness.
We were able to send one family and their child to Santa's Secret Forest to make important memories for Christmas and provide the families with Smyths Toys shopping vouchers to ease the burden and keep Christmas magical.
These smaller more personal grants are exactly what Elsie's Story planned from the start, and ultimately are based around what Elsie would have wanted.
