Last week the team here at Wish Lantern donated 30 of our sky lanterns to the Newlove Foundation, in case you don’t know who they are and what they do this blog will tell you. The Newlove Foundation was set up by Helen Newlove and her three daughters Zoe, Danielle and Amy on the 8th of November 2008, Helen is the widow of tragically murdered Gary Newlove who was killed outside of there home after confronting a gang of youths. Helen spotted thetrend of bored young people from the Warrington area turning to crime and decided it was time to give them something to do.

Not only does Helen and the rest of the good people at the Newlove Foundation try to inspire people to lead a more purposeful life,  motivate people to enrich their lives, provide opportunities for positive interaction with communities they also offer support and guidence to victims of similar tragadies. The sky lanterns that we have donated are designanted for the secret garden themed first Newlove anniversy ball which is taking place on the 7th of November 2009 at Warrington town hall. If you want to attend or even just find out more about this extremely good cause the have a look at the Newlove Foundation’s website.

We are hoping that the donated lanterns will add a little magic to an already special occassion and that support for the Newlove Foundationm continues to grows. Our new relationship with the foundation is one that we will strive to keep for many years and I’m sure there will be future donations of our sky lanterns.
