The most simple and effective way of achieving this is through developing a Circle of Support. These are groups of people who get together around a child or young person and support them to realise their dreams and have more control over their lives whilst creating strong friendships at the same time. You just need a facilitator to get it going.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Circles Network wasn't here when Lee was alive, but it is now...... and as long as we can keep it going it will help a lot of people like Lee. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">So .... we thought we'd set ourselves the challenge of raising &pound;5,000.00 by April 1st 2012 to support this work and have made it really easy by setting up our own just giving page.
