John Sutherington Now Needs You!
16 to 30 years olds encouraged to “Spit for Sutty”
The problem is finding a suitable match to ensure that any transplant is successful and matching bone-marrow isn’t easy. Thankfully, the Anthony Nolan organisation are on hand to help us. We want to encourage all 16 to 30 year olds to attend this event and “Spit” (or, if you prefer, give a sample) into a jar to be checked to see if your bone-marrow matches with John’s. John has done more than anyone I know to help the residents of Anstey. He has been tireless in ensuring that any changes to the village have been beneficial.
Now it’s time to help him! If you are 16 to 30 years old and can spare time on the 9th of April to pop along to the Nomads ground to give a sample, then, for goodness sake, please do so. You may also be able to help other people around the country who find themselves in a similar position to John. You could be a Life-saver! For more information about the Anthony Nolan Trust, please see the article on page 20. Martin Broomhead – Chairman of Anstey Parish Council
Wednesday 9th April 3pm-8pm ey Anstey Nomads Ground, Cropston Road, Anst a lifesaver!
JUST TO NOTE IN ORDER TO REGISTER BY A SPIT SAMPLE YOU CANNOT DRINK/EAT/CHEW OR SMOKE FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE, SO WE ALWAYS MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO DRINKS ETC IN REGISTRATION AREA, BUT AFTER THAT is FINE, AND IT IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR THE VOLUNTEERS, AND DONORS AFTER REGISTRATION.

April 2014
She has been volunteering at the youth cafe for over a year and was nominated for a Pride of Charnwood award as Young Volunteer of the year by Go-Getta CIC in recognition of her commitment. She has been a positive peer role model and her input is invaluable in supporting local young people to build confidence, engage in positive activities and steer clear of crime. The youth cafe is led by the The Anstey neighbourhood watch scheme, they appreciate Ceri's help and her time which she offers to the cafe. Her peers are supportive of her and realise her talent. She works with them once a week for 3 hours, she has also attended the group camp which was run over a two days. She enjoys bringing out the best in the children she works with, her enjoyment of music is being transferred to these young people, she holds their attention and is held in high esteem within the group she plays with. To see her confidence grow and it has been wonderful to see a person who would not say much and keep herself to herself, blossom into a young lady who can hold a group's attention and keep them off the streets of the village by involving them with her love of music. Ceri is in her last year studying 'A' Levels at Longslade Community College, one of which is Photography, at which she is very talented, her ambition to be a professional fashion photographer drives her to study for a Photography Degree at De Montfort University.
