Over a glass of celebratory bubbles, the charities explained how the funds would be spent - towards the purchase of much needed on-board life saving equipment, providing necessary outreach support and giving life experiences to young people that many take for granted.

Friends for Leisure are a registered charity helping children and young people with disabilities across Cheshire East to enjoy friendship and leisure. They have a vision of a society where all children and young people have the same opportunities and the support they need to make friends and have fun.
Through a variety of services, Friends for Leisure offer 5 youth groups, ten-pin bowling clubs, breakfast clubs, a drama club and a programme of holiday activities, as well as one-to-one friendships, or ‘buddies’.
What makes Friends for Leisure unique is that a vast team of young volunteers (80% under 21 years old) help to deliver all these activities so that local children are happier, healthier and no longer lonely or isolated.
