To those who know the Lee Mead Timeline Advent Calendar, and its associated fundraising appeal, from previous years ... welcome back, and be prepared for some surprises this year!  To those who have found it for the first time ... enjoy!

This year's charity is Great Ormond Street Hospital - it seemed an appropriate choice in a year that has seen Lee welcome his little girl into the world, and one I hope you will support with the same generosity you have shown in the past.

Now, about those surprises ... the short story is that there will be a daily draw for real prizes to accompany the virtual goodies that have until now been the limit of the Advent Calendar's scope.

Every £2 donated via this page earns one entry ticket to the daily draws - with each ticket remaining valid until either it wins or we run out of draws. Please note that donations made while the daily draws are taking place (i.e. until 25 December) will NOT be eligible for GiftAid because you will be receiving draw tickets in return.  Any donations made after this date will and you should tick the appropriate boxes if you are a UK tax payer.

You can give as much or as little as you like (subject to the minimum donation of £2) and you can return to add another donation at any time - remember every £2 gives you another ticket!

You can find more information on how it all works, and the sort of items you might win, on the Lee Mead Timeline or you can go straight to the Advent Calendar itself.

Many thanks for your support, Ro x
