Footsteps Foundation will be holding a Christmas Fair on Saturday 10th November in Abingdon Market Square to raise money and awareness for the charity.

Everyone is welcome to come along and join us between 10am and 2pm. There will be children’s toys and books for sale as well as handmade crafts and homemade cakes. There will be some great prizes to be won in the Christmas raffle and fun and games for the children too. And if that’s not enough, keep your eye out for our Turbo Cycle Challenge! Two local Footsteps dads will be attempting to cycle a ‘mile for every child’ in just four hours.What a fantastic challenge!

We hope to see you there!

It’s an exciting time with the 2012 Olympics taking place in Great Britain this year. Thanks to the Steve Redgrave Fund, you can be part of the hype by becoming the lucky owner of an Olympic rowing team photograph signed by the one and only Steve Redgrave.

We think this will be a popular item in the Small Charities Ebay Auction so make your bid now for your chance to win the signed photograph. The auction closes on the 17th June.

When Sienna Steptoe was five months old, doctors told her family she was blind, deaf and would never walk or talk.

But five years later and to the joy of her parents, the Abingdon youngster is learning to take her first steps with the help of Footsteps. Read the full article in the Oxford Times.

Minty has made it through to the next round in the bid to be one of the Olympic torch bearers for the 2011 London Olympic Games.

After being nominated we recently received notification that Minty will join 28,000 other hopefuls in the next round. Results are due in December.

Please could we remind everyone to make any cancellations as early as possible, whilst we do operate a healthy waiting list, it is often difficult to find families who are able to take last minute
spaces.

If you find you no longer require a session please bear in mind that there are others who do.

Thank You.
