No doubt like the rest of the population of this country and indeed the rest of the world you will have been horrified by the never to be forgotten, terrible events that led to the tragic death of a beautiful little boy James Bulger. Please take a moment of your time to read this letter.
Esther Rantzen, patron of Red Balloon, was inspired to develop the idea of a memorial to my son, James during a visit to Liverpool in 2007. She believed it extraordinary that there was no memorial to him, and so with the help of the people not only in Liverpool but across the world, we, together created James Bulger House.
The Red Balloon Learner Centre is a charity aiming to raise £1,000,000 in order to create James Bulger House, a place where children who have been bullied can study in safety. The young people we take have been bullied to such an extent that they are unable to go to mainstream school. Our aim is for them to recover, and then return to school or move on to college or into employment.
In order to bring us closer to our target,we are holding a celebrity Charity Gala evening, to be held at the Kirkby Civic suite, Knowsley, Liverpool. The night will hold a variety show showcasing Liverpool's "best" talent, appearing will be Lewis Devine, Terri-Ann Devine, James Rooney,Kelli Bond, Tina Malone (Shameless), Esther Ranzsten, Schooner, All for you, Gillian Ross, Diane Marsh, Alex Devine, X Factors Danny Morris (Former Eton Road member), Tracy Jay, plus many more. It will be a red carpet event with many of The north west's celebs attending. (Tickets are selling fast but a small amount are still being sold at the Kirby Suite, For more information please contact 07825519453 )
Aside from this event all the above have teamed together to release a charity single version of Michael Jacksons Heal the World, this song lies close to the hearts of all our trustees and especially to James' mother Denise as Michael Jackson himself personally wrote to her after the death of her son, The single will get a full UK Release in July this year, along with a music video aired across the whole network of music television, So that we can touch the nation and raise as much money possible for such a good cause.
