Thank you to APP's Treasurer and Trustee Sue Blamire
We were very sad to say goodbye to APP’s Treasurer and Trustee, Sue Blamire, who retired at the end of March 2018 after 8 years. Staff and Trustees had a whip-round for a thank you present.

Sophie completes the Stafford 10k!
Three Cheers for Sophie who completed the Stafford 10K on Sunday 23rd September in aid of APP!
Sophie decided to support APP after her sister suffered with Postpartum Psychosis, and received help from APP, she says: "Since their return home from the unit my sister has gone from strength to strength, I couldn’t be more proud of what she has achieved whilst raising Bea who is blossoming every single day. She has since benefited from the services APP offer, listening and reading about other people who have suffered from the same illness has helped her endlessly."
Team APP skydive smash their fundraising target (twice!)
A huge round of applause for Team APP who all bravely jumped out of a plane on Sunday 16 September, and raised much needed funds in aid of APP!
A very big THANK YOU to Giles, Jess, Hannah, Tanya, Sally and Anna, who took on APP's Big Skydive Challenge so brilliantly and for all their amazing fundraising - they completely smashed their fundraising target (twice!) to raise nearly £6,500 - wow! An amazing achievement, congratulations. APP thanks all of the brave team and also everyone who so generously sponsored them as well.
You can still donate to Team APP via the JustGiving page(s) here.
The Band of Bro's' concert!
A big thank-you to the 'Band of Bro's' who put together a fabulous summer concert and collected £11 in loose change in aid of APP!
We're told "they made signs, tickets and did a little performance" all in aid of APP to the delight of their mothers, grandmothers and friends - what a lovely surprise.
Perhaps they'll repeat the performance for our Music 4 Mums event next May!
