Denise Fergus would like to offer her heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported the Red Balloon Merseyside Appeal for James Bulger House. The brilliant news is that contracts have been exchanged and we have taken possession of a substantial suburban property in Liverpool that will become James Bulger House. Once work has been done to update it and adapt it, it will welcome the first students – who will follow a programme of educational and therapeutic support to enable them to return to mainstream school or move on to college or employment.Many of our donors have come back to us time and time again – we thank you. And many many thanks too to all who have sent messages of support and helped us to start helping those children on Merseyside who cannot attend mainstream school because of bullying.
Esther Rantzen, who is a patron of Red Balloon, was inspired to develop the idea of a memorial to James during a visit to Liverpool in 2007. "16th March 2008 would have been James' eighteenth birthday. No life has been more cruelly cut short than that lovely two-year-old, who was murdered fifteen years ago. It is extraordinary that there is no memorial to him. With the help of people in Liverpool and around the world who love and care for children, together we will create James Bulger House, to protect our children and save more lives." Denise Fergus, James' mother, says: "I have witnessed the work that Red Balloon does with bullied children and I am sure that there is a very great need for a learner centre refuge for victims of bullying on Merseyside. If James Bulger House can help save the life of just one child in that terrible situation then it will be a fitting tribute to my son."
