Accommodation News
BiG Storage Cheshire Jets are delighted to confirm that overnight accommodation will once again be at Ellesmere Port Catholic High School due to the support and help of Mike Burton. For every residential camper £20 will be donated to Nyakatukura Memorial School in Northern Uganda. All of the children are orphans and 70% are HIV positive. Mike and his family have been involved for four years and in that time significant improvements have been made at the school including a basketball court!
If anyone is able to support the school then this can be done by either:- Direct donation, a previous donation of £100 renovated a derelict building to accommodate 2 teachers. Donate basketball boots or trainers that you may have outgrown but they still have life left in them, smaller sizes are most needed If you can help please either contact either Peter Hawkins or Mike Burton
