CHAS - Ena Cunningham - September 2019

When Ena Cunningham popped into the BeGreen office to tell us about her wonderful great grand daughter we just knew we had to support in some way. Ena's great granddaughter Mirryn had a rare neurodegenerative disorder CLN1Batten and sadly passed away in June.

Ena wanted to give something back to CHAS the charity that had been supporting the family over the months. CHAS is a charity that offers full family support service for babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions. They have been running for 20 years. 

We offered Ena the window space where she could set up her display of knitting and quilts to sell to raise funds for CHAS. We also donated £200 to help Ena.

Anouska Woods, Community Co-ordinator, "I remember when I first met Ena. She was determined to give something back to the charity that supported her family through this tragic time. Ena is a great quilter and knitter so it just seemed the perfect idea to book the window space out for her so she could not only raise money but also raise the awareness of the charity CHAS and the fantastic work they do. Ena was just a delight to have in the shop, we had a great blether and she did fantastic. We are hoping to have her lovely quilts and knitting back in the window before Christmas. The family have been through such a tragedy but they are doing such amazing fundraising events. They should be so proud."
