Paul Mather hasn't added a story.
I am Paul Mather a new Lego Artist that initially built a BIG Lego Model so that I could purchase a new car. I then built a 5ft 10" Lego Titanic...... ,the initial plan was to sell the Titanic to either a Legoland or a Titanic Collector. Since posting the picture on Twitter I got huge responses from Legolands worldwide that fully respected the model and complimented on its detail. White Star Line wanted this to take on their next voyage and I have also been in local press and on radio.
What happened next.....
I then get a surprise PPI Claim through and low an behold it was enough to buy a car so I decided not to sell the Titanic and use this model to help others. I then carefully chosen 3 Charities which were Ruebens Retreat, The Stroke Association and Teenage Cancer Trust. So I attended 3 events throughout the year and helped raise funds for each charity. Then I decided I will arrange my own but for all 3 which was a huge success and full of entertainment, craft stalls, lego displays, lego play areas, bouncy castle, dj and live music. I have photo's from each event with the Titanic and also have You-Tube Video's of the models for the events on my You-Tube Channel.
So now I have chosen my charities but didnt know how to gain support as I knew I would be doing these events and wanted some help somehow. I then joined Twitter and entered into #oldhamhour Within this group I ended up getting huge support on my vision and building lego models to attend events to help raise more funds for the charities. I ended up obtaining sponsors which although have never financially supported me but they helped with a free website, discounted costs on leaflets, stickers, posters and banners, a free photoshoot and images and free advertising on a local mums website. I was overwhelmed by the responses of not only the people at these events I was attending as the only display but the business support to help me fulfil what I wanted to do.
I have now after completing this years Charity Events come to a decision stage of selling the Titanic however deep down in my heart I really don't want to. This has helped so many people and it was a joy building this. This request isn't just about giving money this is about helping me, help others....
I am looking for either Cash donations or Lego donations, the main reason for this is that I don't have sufficient Lego to complete next years model. I have though chosen next years charities which are Alzheimers Society, Clic Sargent and Klippel Feil Syndrome
For me to carry on building for Charity I need the support from the people for what I do. Could you help either by a lego or cash donation... if so Please Help my Cause
Also after donating if you would like to see my past and current event photos please follow me on twitter see my website and like me on facebook
