Aurora held an fundraising event in May 2011. The event was a Spring Fayre held at a local church hall in Kingston Vale, South West London where there were various stalls, live music and activities. Despite moderate attendance enough money was raised to make it a successful campaign.

A big, big thank you to all volunteers who gave up their time and energy so generously to prepare, organise and deliver the event.

Heartfelt thanks also to a number of local businesses who made gift contributions to the event, namely:

• John Lewis
• Odeon Cinema
• Frankie & Bennies
• LUSH
• Vale News
• CHANGE Personal Training

Thank you also to Waitrose in Kingston-upon-Thames who - although unable to contribute to the event - have offered to include Aurora in their Community Matters initiative for the month of June. If you live in Kingston-upon-Thames and shop in Waitrose please pop an Aurora token in the box!

Aurora is pleased to announce that two promotional videos have been produced. One was made specifically for a “Charity Giveaway Competition” (we didn't win) and the second (shown on the Welcome page) is very similar, but offers a more general overview of Aurora.

Both can be viewed on YouTube at the following links:
