EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES FOR WAYNE ELCOCK

I have been involved in a number of projects locally and nationally
to promote worthy causes and share my own life experiences.

Help is offered by giving a clear direction to people’s lives and
offering encouragement. Helping people from all walks of life and
covering all age groups.

I have been involved with various charities over the last couple of
years and am always willing to help in whatever way possible in
my local community. Contact me if you feel I could contribute and
be a advantage to your group, school or company.

My main charity in recent times has been Promise Dreams who
give seriously or terminally ill children help with treatment and offer
ongoing support and help for the families. The charity aims to fulfil
the wish of the child by delivering their dream, whether that may be
a holiday, a toy or even to meet there favourite celebrity.

I have really enjoyed helping promote the events of Promise
Dreams and having a young daughter myself makes it something
that is close to my heart. Helping put a smile on the face of a
young girl or boy, who has had to endure so much because of their
illness, is very rewarding.

If you would like to help, contribute or find out more about future
events the Promise Dreams website can be found on my links
page.

The story above is all about helping Samuel to get a new Electric chair. Samuel is
one of the many that I have been lucky enough to help and be involved in with the
events that have taken place at the Shard End Brookmeadow Public House.

I was happy to donate some of my personal items and some other items into the
auction from the world of football and boxing in order to help raise enough money
to achieve our goal. The only favour I asked of Samuel, a local lad, was that he got
his new chair in the colour Blue for my team Birmingham City (I was only
joking)which he said he would.
True to his word the next time I met with Samuel was to present him with a new
blue electric chair.

Addicted to sport programme run by Les Potts

I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this programme and it has given me the
opportunity to give something back to my sport at grass roots level.
The programme was put together by Les Potts and the West Midlands police &
targets young offenders to help them turn there attention to something more
productive.
Les Potts has done a fantastic job and hopefully he will continue to get more
funding for a new programme that might discover the next champion to come out
of the Midland Counties, watch this space for developments.
