Fundraising Event Generates £5104.00 for Charity

Inner Frame were honoured to have organised a fundraising event earlier this year which included our very own North Wales Dragons and are thrilled to announce that the event generated a sum of £5104.00 for Charity.

The charities which have benefited from the money are Clic Sargent Scotland, Neves Charities, Boots for Africa and Buckley Town FC in the Community.

We have so many people to thank who played a pivotal role in putting the event together, promoting or providing raffle and auction prizes, so a big thank you to Randstad Staffing Solutions for being the Dragons main Sponsor.

Also to Speaks Volumes, The Quay Hotel, Clear Reality, Recognition Express, Powlsons Printers, The Ayrshire Outsiders, Sheffield Football Club, Buckley Town Football Club and last but by no means least, the amazing Event Organisers that are Ysbryd-y-Ddraig.

Inner Frame would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with the North Wales Dragons, particularly the players who collectively raised £1187.00 for Neves Charities.

We have now held three events raising money for charity and to date we have amassed a sum of over £10,000.00.

Turning our attention to the next event, we look forward to raising money for Cancer Reasearch UK’s ” Join the Fight ” against breast cancer. For further details please have a look at our North Wales Dragons page.

Plaque Presented to Team ES Racing

Inner Frame were recently commissioned by charity fundraising football team the North Wales Dragons to provide a plaque to present to Team ES Racing who presently race within the MSA Dunlop British Touring Car Championship.

Team ES Racing were kind enough to provide space on their car, number 78, driven by Chris James, for a certain number of charities to advertise their logos on the car, instead of the normal commercial sponsorship space that is normally utilised on touring cars.

As a token of gratitude, the Dragons presented ES Racing with a plaque.

North Wales Dragons Update

Our own North Wales Dragons were in action this past weekend as they played a warm up match against Total Tranmere prior to a tournament which they will be playing in on 21st May 2011 as they raise money for charity.

The Dragons lost 4-3 in which was an enjoyable and closely contested game.

We are extremely thankful to both Tranmere Rovers and to Total Tranmere as they have assisted in promoting Inner Frames’ involvement in the Boots for Africa Appeal wherever they can. Most recently they invited us on to their podcast to talk about some of the work that Inner Frame and the North Wales Dragons have been doing in conjunction with the appeal.

You can listen to an excerpt from the podcast here.

Sporting Guest Revealed for Charity Fundraising Evening

We are thrilled to announce that the Sporting Guest who will be attending our Charity Fundraising Evening on 21st May 2011, is ex-Liverpool Manager, Roy Evans CBE.

Roy Evans & Gerard Houllier

A long relationship with the club saw him serving under five illustrious managers which included Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Graham Souness and Kenny Dalglish, he was then elevated to manager in 1994, finally resigning in 1999 after a brief spell working alongside Gerrard Houllier.

During his reign as Manager, he was responsible for providing first team opportunities to Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen.

He added players to his squad such as John Scales, Phil Babb, Patrick Berger, Paul Ince and Karlheinze Riedle but also made headlines by paying a British record fee for Nottingham Forest striker Stan Collymore.

This will be an evening not to be missed considering the many high profile sporting names Roy has been involved with. As this will be a Q & A session, we know that he will be more than happy to answer as many of your questions as he can on the night.

Charity Fundraising Day – 21st May 2011

Well here we go again ! .. Its only a couple of months since 19th June 2010 came and went and what a fantastic day it was too.

We have started the arrangements earlier, we normally leave it until the first week in January however, because there is more work involved in the 2011 event, we wanted to get into it sooner.

Things have already been set in stone, four teams will be playing on the day in an inaugural tournament known as the Anglo-Celtic Shield, our very own North Wales Dragons (www.northwalesdragons.co.uk) has  formerly announced it will be participating and will be raising funds for Neves Charities (www.neverscharities.co.uk), the three other teams will be announced in the near future.

Once again, gratitude is extended to Buckley Town Football Club (www.buckleytownfc.com) who have allowed for the fundraising day to be held there once again next year.

The evening event will be held at the Faenol Fawr Hotel, Bodelwyddan (www.faenolfawrhotel.co.uk/the_hotel.html) and we are thrilled to have the services of our compere for the evening, Internationally renowned comedian and Life Member of the North Wales Dragons, John Martin.  (www.johnmartincomedy.co.uk)

As always, we shall have a speaker who has a tough act to follow with Barry Horne and Howard Kendall both doing a great  job in entertaining the masses over the past two events.

We will confirm the details of the evening in the near future, however, you can register your interest with us before hand by sending an email to chris@innerframe.co.uk or by calling Chris on tel:- 07840 318231.

If you would like to help in anyway, we are always grateful to anyone who can lend a hand, it can be tough going sometimes and akin to spinning plates but its enjoyable and rewarding, but most of all, all proceeds are going to such a worthy cause.

If you wish to be kept updated on progress towards the fundraising day, please subscribe to the blog (top right hand corner) and you will be updated as and when all the announcements are made.

Finally, when you get five minutes, please have a look at the Neves Charities web site and have a browse, it will then become apparent as to why Inner Frame are pleased to organise and be involved in events such as this.
