This summer has had its up`s and downs one that I will remember for various reasons one of them being the Manchester pride event last month Scot & me were offered a market stall at this years event selling merchandise T-shirts, wrist bands, jewellery,programs all provided buy various Gay charities and local business as well as Scot&me having T-shirts and wrist bands that
we designed ourselves with allot of help from friends of ours like Trish who printed the shirts for us .over the weekend of events I helped with fundraising walking round bar`s talking to the punters with your best smile it was genuine smile most of the time and just asking for a donation
of money to put in my bucket we more or less stuck together in case people got abusive or over friendly did get a grope of some but that`s expected sometimes after a few hours of this someone took over so we could have a few beers I was a little merry by the end of the night .The stall on the next day went brilliant all our T shits sold out quickly we only made 50 all of different sizes as well as the one`s we we given to sell and by the end we only had a few things left we counted up how much we took and came to a grand total of £742 not bad going I will admit we wanted to win who took the most money contest but that was over a thousand ££ needed a bigger stall basically but
all together the markets raised well over 30 thousand pounds and the whole event over the 10 days of various events over a million was raised and we are bloody proud to be part of that .
This has meant so much To me its not just about raising money it`s also about raising awareness of who you are and providing support and information to others .
