A Ripon woman has launched fundraising wristbands to pay for a life-changing operation for her grandson who was refused NHS treatment. So far Avril Ogden, of Westgate, has raised £500 towards a £40,000 operation for Oliver, two, who has spastic diplegia – a form of cerebral palsy – and relies on a frame to walk. “We were devastated when we found out that we would need to raise the money ourselves,” said Avril, who indicated the complex spinal surgery –called selective dorsal rhitzomy – would allow Oliver to walk unaided. The NHS has said the operation for Oliver would be too risky to peform, forcing his parents – who live in Wiltshire – to seek private treatment. Fundraising Wristbands for Oliver Continue reading →

WRISTBANDS calling on the Government to stop culling badgers are being sold by a Webheath resident in a bid to spread the message. Shari Black Velvet, who creates the quarterly Black Velvet magazine, has already sold nearly 100 Stop The Cull bands, with 50p from each going to the Badger Trust. The campaigner who has avoided meat and milk for more than 20 years said she had been inspired, having previously sold Save A Scream Against All Animal Cruelty wristbands, after joining the national London Against The Cull march earlier this year. “I’m obviously against the badger cull as it’s cruel and inhumane, plus evidence has shown that killing badgers won’t get rid of TB. “It is a pointless exercise that won’t cure cows of the disease.

A schoolgirl has been banned from wearing a Help The Heroes wristband in support of injured soldiers - because of safety fears that it can get snagged on door handles. Ellie Sandywell, 11, had the band confiscated by teachers after she insisted on wearing it in lessons. She says she wears the bracelet because her 17-year-old cousin, Ethan Millard, is serving in the RAF, and her brother, Joshua Brayford, aged 20, is in training for the Royal Marines. Sara Stevenson, executive headteacher at the University Primary Academy in Kidsgrove, Staffs, claims the wristband could endanger pupils. Continue reading →
