Story

We are a Halloween House in Alnwick, Northumberland. We decorate our house and garden each year all things Halloween for people to visit and enjoy over the half term October break.

We raise money through donations and every penny goes to our chosen charity. This year its Chameleon Buddies, a small local Northumberland charity.

Chameleon Buddies promotes social inclusion among people living with a stoma or childbirth injury, both in the UK and in Kenya. The Charity is a passionate advocate for providing hope for people struggling to live with lifechanging injuries' following childbirth, and aims to help women, and their families, adapt to these changes. 

Kenyan girls have limited, or no, access to stoma supplies. Chameleon Buddies realised that there was a gap in the care provided, prompting fundraising to send stoma supplies to the women in need. Chameleon Buddies has been established to enhance this initial support, by focusing on improving the ostomy services for the women. Stoma nurses and educational workshops will form part of this outreach work in Kenya. 

The charity is raising awareness of the prevalence of childbirth injuries and ostomies, and providing support groups for women in Northumberland to access a safe space following their birth or stoma surgery.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and donating so generously.
