Hi everyone Well what a weekend I have had! A new buddy of mine @HomeToHomeCook makes delicious hand made chocolates that are just 21 calories and contain 2.7g of fat! There are no preservatives, nuts etc so everyone can enjoy but the taste, one word divine! David the Chocolatier who already makes his wonderful creations for another charity, check it out here has very kindly offered to do the same for #OneVoice Never Silenced, excited is not the word! Each box raises £3 for charity, just think of the money that this could raise for our wonderful charities! During this next week we will be using our contacts with the big supermarkets, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury, Tesco hoping that they will stock our wonderful treats. If you have a shop and are interested in stocking the chocolates please get in touch evethomas@evethomas.co.uk or if you have any ideas re stockists etc please yell. Now for the big one - Phil from the Cambridgeshire Police DV Unit, The Boss as we call him and tweeter for @running4refuge has been organising some marvellous fund raising events to raise money for the wonderful Refuge Charity, there's #teamshark, #teamabsail and #teamairborne not to mention our amazing DV cops running a marathon but there is a new team in town #teamonevoice! Last year we had the Olympics and a torch was carried throughout the UK - #teamonevoice will hopefully be doing the same! A team of people, #teamonevoice will carry an eternal light, a light to remember those lives lost to abuse and domestic violence and the 100's and 1000's of lives that have been destroyed by abuse it will also be the light to show the way to change! If it can be done for the Olympics it can be done for abuse! The logistics are going to be a nightmare and I am no doubt going to be tweeting and posting asking for help but myself and The Boss @running4refuge hope that every single DV unit will participate in the UK along with the general public. Think of the awareness we could raise as the light travels throughout the country think of the money we can raise for the awesome Refuge Charity, the sponsorships that can be achieved but most of all think of the education and guidance we can share along the way, we CAN get the warning signs out there, we CAN share our knowledge and help so many THIS CAN BE DONE! IT WILL BE DONE! I am a very determined woman! #TeamOneVoice (The Boss came up with the name, thank you Boss) was created in the late hours over the weekend and so is very new. We have some hard work ahead of us but already the big bosses are coming forward to help and I just want to say a very big thank you to @ts1067 this amazing Police Officer of some 14 years plus spent yesterday networking with her old PPU to get #teamonevoice some runners, WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS!!! Between us we have awesome PR teams and media contacts so I hope you will all help us, support us and cheer us on and if you can help in anyway please get in touch with either The Boss @running4refuge or myself evethomas@evethomas.co.uk If you would also like to carry the eternal #OneVoice light please shout so we can include your name/details etc. We would love as many members of the general public to participate as possible and will be also contacting refuges, charities etc throughout the UK as well as schools, hospitals, crisis centres etc. THE MORE THE MERRIER - #TEAMONEVOICE IT CAN BE DONE!!! I am also working on a project with a very remarkable young woman, an award winning designer who is Gok Wan's Knit Queen!!! Diana is going to design a unisex pin for #OneVoice Never Silenced - THIS IS AMAZING! Diana is also working and doing the same with Pancreatic Cancer UK and all profits from our pin will go to our amazing charities. I'm going to be so busy over the next few weeks as #TeamOneVoice, #OneVoice Never Silenced Chocolates and the #OneVoice Never Silenced Pin are worked on but I welcome this with an open heart and mind, I may be 45 tomorrow but there is plenty of life in this old gal yet! Have a fantastic day everyone and I am sending big smiles and big hugs.
