COLOURFUL and imaginative drawings by pupils from a primary school are gracing a char ity calendar which will raise money for a cause very close to their hearts. All the proceeds from the sale of the calendar will
be donated to Derian House Children’s Hospice in memory of former Sabden Primary School pupil Matthew Lodge, who was just six when he died in 1999. Diagnosed \vith a stem brain tumour, Matthew and his family received care and support from nursing staff at the hospice and since the tragedy Matthew’s mum, Susan, has become a fund-raiser. Over the years the school has staged a number of fund-raisers and it was due to their help that Derian House asked them to do the drawings to accompany a series of specially written poems for the calendar. Derian House staff chose the best 12 and the calendar has now gone on sale at £2.99. Now, pupils, including Matthew’s two sisters, Har
riet (eight) and five-year-old Grace, and staff are hop ing to sell as many calendars as possible to help the Chorley-based hospice which needs a whopping £1.45m. a year to keep running. The front cover of the calendar features a Christ
