Please help raise funds for Cancer Research UK

We live in a world where cancer affects so many lives. Like many, I never thought it would hit so close to home - until recently when my Dad, Russell Allen was diagnosed with lung cancer. It’s a heartbreaking reality that no family should have to face.

While cycling 200 miles might seem like a small effort in the grand scheme of things, I want to do everything I can to support those fighting this cruel disease and the incredible people who dedicate their lives to helping them.

This March, I’ll be taking on the Cycle 200 Miles Challenge to raise money for life-saving research. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. If you can, please support my journey and help fund vital cancer research.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity - it truly means the world.

Please complete the PACT/BECTU MMP Agreement Survey

The Major Motion Picture Agreement (MMPA) hasn’t been updated for some years, and in comparison to the newer TV Agreement there are some disadvantages.

In light of this, there is a survey that was previously sent out and only gathered about 16 responses to date. However, now is a good time to gather more opinions and views on how things might be changed in future negotiations.  

Please fill in as much as you can and when we reach a decent level of response we can post some of the results. The survey is anonymous and no email addresses are collected.

Don’t forget that BECTU, love them or not, do negotiate the agreements that we all work under, whether or not you are a union member. So, please fill in the survey!

Kirk Thornton Funeral & GofundMe

There will be a service to celebrate Kirk Thornton’s life on Wednesday 26th February at 11am at Clandon Wood, Epsom Road, West Clandon, Guildford, Surrey GU4 7FN. Please car share where possible as parking is limited & wear appropriate footwear as this is a nature reserve.

And then afterwards at Sunbury Golf club, Charlton Lane, Shepperton TW17 8QA

For those unable to attend we will be live streaming the service or please feel free to visit Clandon Wood at a later date where all staff are really lovely & helpful.

Pat Garrett has set-up a GofundMe page to help Kirk's family at this difficult time. Kirk was fully supporting his family at the time of his death. Anything you can give would really help them. Give what you can to honour Kirks memory, and assist Sabrina and his children as they come to terms with this devastating loss.
