ON Good Friday First
National Wine Bar on James Street, Liverpool, hosted a charity
event for the "For James" charity. The event was
organised by Stuart and Denise Fergus, to raise funds for the
James Bulger Memorial Trust.
Many will remember the horror of
what happened in February 1993 in the Bootle and Liverpool areas
of the United Kingdom, but many do not realise that a charity is
now running so that James Bulger will never be forgotten.
The
Trust, which was set up in his name, aims support young people
who are disadvantaged by reason of having become the victims of
crime, hatred or bullying. They do so by providing cost-free
travel and holiday accommodation for such children and their
families, along with a range of other tangible rewards, as
deemed appropriate by the Trustees or their appointed
representatives, and they support other organisations benefiting
children in similar circumstances, as deemed appropriate by the
Trustees. To do this they require funds; and helping to raise
some of that money has been raised via the event on Good Friday, called
the:- "Good Friday
Night Out".
Taking part at the event on 18 April 2014
(Good Friday), were X-Factor Chris
Maloney,
Kameelion (Ben Williams), Redd, Click 22, Reece Lightning, R Gaz and Jet along with rising
star
MattyH. plus lots more. This
was a fantastic night and raised lots of funds for the Trust.

to make a positive contribution to the welfare of others, or
society in general in his name.
