James Bulger Memorial Trust

Not long after my first post regarding James,
http://derekmoore549.blogspot.com/2012/02/never-forgotten-james-bulger.html
I discovered a charity was set up in his name by his mother Denise.

The charity's aims are “To benefit and support young people who are disadvantaged by reason of having become the victims of crime, hatred or bullying. To reward those who are judged to have shown exemplary conduct, making a positive contribution to the welfare of others, or society in general..."
(Registered Charity Number: 1141125)

Full details can be found on the official 'For James' website www.forjames.org 

Lots of events have taken place in order to raise money for the charity including 'Swim for James' by Lesley Lloyd and more recently, 'Laughter Factory' with Pauline Daniels and Gary Skyner.

I hope by raising awareness of the charity, the memory of James and the good work done by so many people will carry on.

Good luck to all those involved.
