    I run a building company and have a fair bit of clout when it comes to purchasing materials, I know that one of my main suppliers does a lot of fundraising events for charity and are very likely to offer some very good help to this very worthy cause if I were to bend the right ears

    Let me know if I can help, give me a list of what you guys need and i'll pass it on to the right people. For a start I'm pretty sure I can get my hands on some ex display stuff for free eg. Bathrooms and kitchen for sure, it will just need to be transported.

    That's good stuff, materials are a good thing and extremely necessary to get any project off the ground. I have spoken to Terry D about getting some requirements and a detailed plan of the existing place to establish just what the scope of the project will be.

    It will need help from all quarters though, fund raising, contributions, labour, materials etc. An exact scope needs to be estblished before we can start getting the stuff and workforce together.

    Hopefully Terry can liaise with the Stoke Mandeville people to get some
    details to work from.

    We're going to need hands-on folk, Mike, yes.
    Once the roof work has been done and the other materials are due for delivery, we'll need folk to offer their hands and feet to do all the less specialised work.

    By this I mean work such as stud wall moving/building and plumbing type work.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    We have been let down !

    I have been trying to contact the manager of the company that offered to donate the materials for the re-building of the end wall since 10/09/07. Today i have emailed phoned 3 times left messages on their mobile and even had one of my old colleagues ask them to ring me to arrange delivery of the materials.

    All forms of contact have been met with no response and I truly believe that I am being ignored and rather than tell me straight that they do not wish to donate these materials they have chosen to be cowardly.

    It was very disappointing for me to email Rosie today and let her know that the proposed delivery for Saturday is at this time cancelled.
