Well done Blue Peter

Excited and impressed to watch Helen from Blue Peter run the 24 hr Ultrathon in Namibia. What an achievement and what an inspiration. Delighted to see the Across The Divide team putting on such an impressive event in Africa and feel even more excited about the prospect of going there in October with the ATD team who've been fabulous. Alison (1/4 PANTS). That's probably too many excited's in one paragraph but its all very .... exciting!

Better than a May Ball!

Wow feedback during the week post the Ball has been brilliant. We raised around £2,500 which isn't bad in these recessionary times and of course what was important too was that people had a great time. More photos to follow but here's us PANTS girls doing things with pants - again!

Charity Ball huge success!

We did it! The Charity Ball was a great success on Saturday night and all our hard work paid off. We're waiting to hear what the final sum raised has been but here's us having fun with our tools - getting in shape for the renovations we're going to undertake in Namibia! Thanks to Janey Lee Grace and all our entertainers who helped make the Ball 'better than a May Ball'! Love and thanks from the PANTS girls. Helen, Karen, Fi and Alison

Janey sends out an ezine every month to over 10K people who have signed up to receive her recommendations and updates on natural /green living.Janey is popular on the speaking and lecture circuit and last year presented at over 100 events around the country.Janey Lee Grace is passionate about all things natural and green. She wants to help people change their lives by introducing them to the concept of easily available natural alternatives and directing them to the products that really work. Janey inspires people to live with fewer toxic chemicals in their lives and to encourage people to feel they can be part of the new 'ethical eco movement' without needing to feel any sense of guilt for the bits they aren't getting right. She sums up this struggle that we all face day to day as 'Imperfectly Natural'. Visit her website http://www.imperfectlynatural.com/ to learn more.

Here's what one of our local papers had to say about our promises auction and the whole namibia trip.
