Welcome to the online Issue of Lots for Tots Derbyshire Well it’s not quite how I was expecting to say Happy Easter to you...

Please accept my huge apologies to all my Lots for Tots readers who have been waiting for the new magazine to arrive. I am so dissapointed to have let you down.

Unfortuantely the matter was beyond my control when my support person in North Derbyshire dropped out at the last minute, leaving me no time to fill the magazine with the advertising neccessary to cover the cost of publishing it.

BUT until the arrival of the REAL Issue 3 in your hands for the summer, I can at least offer you an online version!

I do hope that you can use the online magazine & please do look out for Issue 3 from July at your local Nursery, Pre-School, Children’s Centre, Library or clinic.

That’s why we have joined forces with the Hambantota District Early Childhood Development Foundation. We want to help improve facilities for younger children.”

This year the Bump to Five Show & Lots for Tots are supporting the Isabella Peatfield Memorial Fund, the local charity which raises money for children in Sri Lanka affected by the Boxing Day tsunami in Asia, in memory of five year old Isabella who died whilst on holiday with her parents.

While entry to the show is free when you pre-register online, we would invite you waive your free entry & donate at the door in support of the Fund. Half of the £2 entry on the day will be donated to the Fund.

There will also be a raffle and the Isabella Fund will be selling its unique, hand made elephant charm bracelets and pink and blue elephant t-shirts at the show.

The Bump to Five show is hoping it will manage to raise £1000 – the amount needed to buy a playground in Sri Lanka, including swings, roundabouts and a slide – which in Sinhalese is called a Slippery Boat! The playground will be installed at a nursery for children under five at 100 feet road, Nawa Maurpura in Hambantota.

Isabella’s Mummy Kim, and I share a surname and although we aren’t related, I have a daughter the same age as Isabella so I feel a real connection with her and can’t imagine a more fitting charity to support and fund raise for this year.

The Isabella Fund says its aim is to make a child smile every day and I am so thrilled that with everyone’s help at the show we will have a Lots for Tots play area on the other side of the world.

All monies raised will go directly towards buying a playground at a nursery in Hambantota in the southern area of Sri Lanka.

For more details on the Isabella Peatfield Memorial Fund visit the website www.isabellapeatfield.co.uk

Kim Peatfield has visited Sri Lanka several times since the tragedy to see their fundraising results first hand.

“Going to school plays a key part in upward mobility for families in poverty in Sri Lanka.

Yet primary schooling can be poor and pre-school facilities, which are not funded by the State, are pretty much unheard of.
