Our annual Christmas Party this year was a great success with a great attendance, we of course had our tree up and this year it was surrounded by goodies, new quality toys and clothing, the DJ’s were boiling, food was on offer and everyone had a great time, a huge thank you you to all that attended and a huge thank you to Homeless Aid UK who donated all the Christmas goodies.
Thank you all so much for attending our 1st Charity Golf day. On behalf of myself and all the Prestfield Partners we would like to thank you for your generosity. The money raised will go to help Harmony Youth Project along with the matched funds from the ST James’s Place Charitable Foundation going to other worthy causes across the country.

Charlie Barrett receiving the cheque from Kath Hynes.
We were delighted to receive a cheque for £275 raised by selling Cakes, crafts, jewellery and a chocolate Raffle from the Longsight Women’s Institute. Mr Charlie Barrett received the cheque and said a few words in appreciation, the cheque was presented by Mrs Kath Hynes. Charlie said ” It was a pleasure to meet this group of ladies who support the community in so many ways, they are so inspirational with their hands on work, they have a serious agenda but also a great sense of humour and fun”
If you have an interest in Longsight Women’s Institute please take a look at their website http://www.lswi.btck.co.uk/
This was a fantastic project to be involved in, we met so many wonderful people and learned so much from their wisdom.
The interviews were from the Thicketford Centre. Thicketford Road, Bolton. Fantastic staff and residence, all the people being interviewed suffered from alzheimer’s but that didn’t stop them having a trip down memory lane and a good time chatting.
Please take a look and drop a thumbs up to our channel on youtube, thank you.
We had a fantastic open day with a great turn out, singing, dancing and talks from The Royal Artillery Association, along with our WW1 soldier selfie, film reels and a WW1 audio experience with sounds from the front line, everyone seemed to have a good time with free brews and pasties (big shout out to Hunters the Bakers in Bolton).
People were particularly interested in our photographs and info on local life in Bolton during WW1 which was researched specifically. Rachel Crowe was singing tunes from the era, which the children really enjoyed. The exhibition is open until the 30th November.
We had a fantastic field trip with the fabulous staff and children from St James primary school Daisy Hill, the school are incorporated in our WW1 project, we visited 6 locations where war memorials were photographed, crayon rubbings taken and lots of artwork. All the children are very well educated on the subject of WW1 and have been a real asset to our project which lasted for 8 weeks visiting the school and having sessions including video and art. The children will be performing a special dance routine at our WW1 exhibition open day.
This trip was very generously funded by the ‘Heritage Lottery Fund’ to which we are extremely grateful.
The website we created for our WW1 projects is now open and will remain open indefinitely.
Our Friend DJ Crofty, Matty, has continued his weekly visits to Harmony. We love his enthusiasm and look forward to seeing him again next week.
