By the beginning of 2015 we are hoping to be able to get our registered charity number. 

Charlies-Angel-Centre will become a charity name that many people all over the country will know.

We have been going now for nearly 18 months and it has been an incredible journey so far. 

Getting our official Charity Number will be the next big step for us and we think it will be the beginning of an amazing time. 

Our hope is that once we have this number it will open up many more doors for us.

There are lots of different funds out there that we will be able to apply for which will enable us to get our centre up and running quicker.

We will also be able to approach more companies and supermarkets regarding fundraising.

At present if you do not have a charity number a lot of places will not allow you to fund raise within their stores/shops. 

We totally understand this as there are so many people out there that are prepared to scam companies for their own personal gain.

Another area that we might find easier to get backing from once we have our number is companies, celebrities or individuals. 

Once we have our number we become a more viable option for companies to possibly come on board as backers/sponsors. 

The number gives us more credibility and celebrities are more willing to look at our cause and feel able to endorse us or fund raise for us.

We would love to be able to get a big company or a celebrity on board as a supporter and endorser. 
It would give us that boost of publicity and help with our fundraising efforts.

If there are any of our blog readers who know any companies, individuals or celebrities that would like to become involved with a very worthwhile cause please point them in our direction.

Our journey still has a way to go but we are all totally committed to getting our centre open for the bereaved parents and families out there that need the support.

We know that it isn't going to be an easy journey but we are not afraid of hard work. We also know how important it is to get this kind of development up and running as there are too many families out there struggling to keep going.

We have already had to face and overcome many difficulties to get us to where we are today.

A little hard work will make the end result even more satisfying and special.

Charlie never gave up on his fight so neither will we. 
Charlie gives us the strength to keep focused and to keep going.
