Minister’s fact finding visit on Help to buy Brandon Lewis, a minister at the Department for Communities and Local Government, visited the head office of haart’s parent company Spicerhaart to discuss the impact of Help to Buy, a Government-backed initiative to help people buy a home.

Mr Lewis, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State met Spicerhaart’s Chief Executive Paul Smith and Chairman John Spence.

Paul Smith said: “Help to Buy has contributed to renewed confidence in the housing market.

Helping more people, usually first time buyers, afford a home of their own is important.”

Said Mr Lewis: “It’s good to hear first-hand how Help to Buy is working in practice. The message is clear that it is helping but not fuelling a house price bubble which is very positive.”

A bumper year for Magic Moments

Magic Moments is very dear to our hearts – and we’re not talking about the song or boxes of chocolates.

It’s our charity dedicated to helping terminally sick children and their families.

Every year our employees ride bikes, run marathons, climb mountains and organise raffles, tea parties, car boot sales, boat races, sky dives, bake-offs and more to raise cash for the charity.

Donations pay to take as many children, their siblings and parents as possible to Disneyland.

And in 2013 we helped more families than ever before - 200 people were taken to Paris for four

days at the end of last year with all spending money included.

The trip comprised four families nominated by each of the 12 children’s hospices we support in England and Wales.

One family, who travelled with their terminally ill little girl, summed it up: “Thank you Magic Moments for an amazing trip.

You provided us with exactly what we wanted memories to last a lifetime.

“Most importantly we did the trip with both our girls.

Isobelle will forever remember visiting Disney with her little sister Skyla, long after she has gone, and that for us means more than we can say.”

Magic Moments was set up in 1998 and has raised almost £800,000 to date.
