The “Design for Life” Appeal, chaired by celebrity hairdresser Andrew 
Collinge, is funding an £1.8m development programme to upgrade services in the north west, based at CARE Stanley Grange . Already, £650,000 has been raised, which is an incredible achievement. We would like to thank everyone who has made a donation to the Appeal. Your generosity is helping us to provide new homes and establish progressive training facilities for people with learning disabilities in the region.
Support is now being sought from interested individuals, corporates and grant making Trusts in order to bring about the total success of the Appeal. Fundraising is well underway, with many events planned for the future.
A glamorous, star-studded Gala Ball held at St George's Hall, Liverpool, on 12 May 2007 raised in excess of £165,000 as well as significant awareness of the project. Andrew, together with his team from Andrew Collinge, arranged an unforgettable dining experience and cabaret at this most beautiful venue in the heart of the city. This was followed later in the year by Andrew's hugely successful fourth 'Design for Life' Golf Day at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club.

"As Chairperson for 'Design for Life' I believe passionately in this appeal. 'Design for Life' is essential and deserves support from us all. This is your chance to make a real difference by enabling people with learning disabilities to take their rightful place in society and live a life that many of us take for granted."

"£1.8 million is a lot of money, but as you can see, it will be money well spent."
