Birmingham based Help Harry Help Others and local author Samuel Langley-Swain are joining forces to raise vital funds for the charity through the sale of his new book Santa’s Wish, while encouraging children to think of others this Christmas – in the spirit of Harry’s legacy.

Georgie Moseley, Harry’s Mum and founder of HHHO, explains that her charity doesn’t do many ‘partnerships’ like this, but the message of the book really struck a chord with her: “When I first read the story it really hit me, because of how close to Harry’s ethos and energy it was, he always thought of others and put them first. He once met Santa in Lapland and ‘wished for Santa to find a cure for Cancer, which was another reason why the story resonated with us.”

This new Author/Charity partnership starts on November 30th and aims to celebrate Christmas as the perfect time to inject a little bit of hope, magic and optimism, the kind that Harry was so well known and loved for.

Santa’s Wish is Samuel’s first children’s story book, which he has self-published, after being inspired by his journey in to parent-hood and his adopted children.

“My world changed when I became a Dad. Now, I am continually amazed by the challenges my children (and many like them) face in their daily lives and these are the inspiration behind my stories.” says Samuel.

“When I realised through my own children, how many vulnerable families spent Christmas without the warmth of Christmas and magic of Santa, I wanted to write a story that was uplifting and hopeful and encourage children to think of others, not just the presents they expect.”

The partnership with Help Harry Help Others will help support the on-going fundraising efforts of the charity, with 50% of the proceeds from every book sold going directly to the charity.

The resounding positivity that surrounds Santa’s Wish has subsequently spurred Samuel to pen three more children’s titles which will be published in early 2018, each one helping to unravel complex issues for young readers.

The book is aimed at children aged 3-9 and is available to buy at: www.santaswish.co.uk/help-harry

We are pleased to be able to announce that Ian rogers has joined the team as a Trustee of help Harry Help Others.Ian has been a valuable supporter of HHHO since we opened. Joining in on charity events like cycling for Harry and organising Summerfest hes been dedicated to HHHO and Harrys mom and the rest of the trustee board are delighted to have him on board to support the vision and the planning for the charity.

Wow absolutely blown away by the figure raised by the amazing #hhho3peaks team a staggering £13,215 raised by a great team...... thank you everyone involved and for the special award for harry. Each and everyone of you achieved so much and its with your support we can continue to help others. 

Where does time go? It's our 5th Birthday and harry would be well proud!

Today is a very special day for me and my family personally and also for the team that supports my vision including the trustees, ambassadors, staff, volunteers, and fundraisers.......
5 years ago today I nervously opened the doors to the public as we launched HelpHarryHelpOthers as a registered cancer charity. 
Today I'm reflecting back to the journey that has not only dominated my life since 26th September 2012 but actually since Harry started it back on 1st July 2009 following visiting his special friend robert Harley in hospital. 
During this time my family have been through the most painful and indescribable heartbreaking journey through losing the most precious thing in our lives and still to honour Harry's memory and his passions and dreams to hhho we have dismissed our own feelings or worked through the pain to try and focus and put the vision in place to help other families where we felt so many gaps and frustrations. We miss him everyday and life is still very lonely and dark without him. 
I look back at opening our shop and now look at how far we have come in terms of the services we offer. I admit at times I question what I'm doing as now I run not only a cancer charity but also a cancer drop in centre .....and it's hard, tiring, and all so serious and at times is like reliving Cancer every day. 
However I'm still Harry's mom and very motivated by him, his desire to help and also by the here and now - the patients that need our support and help. They now have Somewhere to turn to to receive the urgency, the understanding and the empathy. 
I'm so so proud of all that Harry's created, what I've continued to create since he passed and all those people behind us that together help us as a team strive to offer an excellent unique service. 
I know myself we can do things a whole lot better and I intend to ensure me and my team continually strive to improve all. I have the vision for the next 5 years crystal clear in my mind and on paper which I will continue to strive towards so that more people can be helped. 
When I set Harry's charity up all I ever wanted to do was the best I could do as Harry's mom and in honesty I didn't anticipate us being here 5 years on. 
To think we've given just under £900,000 to helpCURE, HelpCOPE and HelpCARE plus we have done 3 respite renovation projects and from what was an idea - put into place the vision of a drop in cancer support centre which now helps over 400 families and it simply overwhelms me. We have also broken a world record and launched a la annual kids awards #harryzyoungstarz. 
it's been physically , emotionally and mentally draining but I wouldn't have it any other way until there is more support offering immediacy supporting the mental wellbeing of cancer patients and their families. That said I hope the next 5 years I can find the time to rediscover my own personal happiness.

We are 5 today, we are stronger than ever with a clear vision for the next 5 years and all this is possible because of every single person who has believed in Harry's dream to HelpHarryHelpOthers! 
Thank you all for helping us #makeithappen and for reaching our 5th birthday which not many personal charities do. Here's to the next 5 years and achieving goals that will benefit even more families.

Love Georgie

WE DID IT! As you know 9.15pm Thursday night we set off at Ben Nevis to start our #threepeakschallenge again due to bad weather on snowdon during the original challenge. Well last night at 3.25am we completed all 3 mountains (second attempt in two weeks). This took in total just under 30 hours with 6 and a half hours climbing time on Ben Nevis in the dark, four and a half hours on scarfell pike with severe weather and 6 hours up and down snowdon once again in the dark with severe wind and mist. 
Me and the team are totally exhausted but al safe and sound other than a couple of people really struggling with their knees. 
Thank you everyone for your support and very PROUD to say we completed this. Thank you to each and everyone person that took part, donated or climbed over the 24 hour period you are all equally amazing.

Thank you to each and every single one of you for your support, it means so much to us here and to everyone that we continue to support. 

In case you missed our great news last week, we have received a #NationalLottery #BigLotteryFundgrant, this grant will be used for a new education for carers facility starting in February next year.
The training facility will be beneficial not only to ourselves but to other groups that use our Cancer support centre for future training projects.
We would love to pass on our huge thanks to the Lottery for believing in our vision to offer more support for carers.

 Can you help save a free lifeline service provided to our Cancer patients in the heart of the community? Our Drop In cancer support centre is about to be demolished due to land regeneration by the local authorities.

In December 2017 the local authority want us to vacate our 'home from home' building that supports so many families due to land regeneration.

To help us towards rebuilding the dream in new premises and keeping Harrys work alive we have set up a crowd funding page to help us with this new challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usr-Ok1vTco&feature=youtu.be

Villa legend Ian Taylor and Blues hero Michael Johnson are putting their football rivalries behind them to raise money in memory of inspirational Harry Moseley at the Great Birmingham 10K.

Taylor, aged 47, and Johnson, 42, are taking on the Sunday, May 1 challenge in aid of Help Harry Help Others (HHHO) – the charity set up by Harry before he lost his battle with an inoperable brain tumour aged 11, in 2011.

Taylor and Johnson both became friends of the Sheldon youngster and helped him to sell his famous bracelets.

They are now both ambassadors for HHHO – which funds research into brain tumours and works with bigger charities that care for patients and helps families cope with the disease by issuing grants.

Johnson, who made over 270 appearances as a defender for Blues said: “We want to help make things happen for the charity and keep Harry’s legacy going.

“To do this, we need to keep raising awareness and funds.”

Taylor, who played more than 260 times in midfield for Villa, said: “Harry was just an incredible young boy. He was so caring. Jonno and I wear the bracelets he made us every day.”

The duo continued their preparations for the Great Birmingham 10k today (April 12) on the sprint lanes at the state-of-the-art Perform Centre at St George’s Park, Burton – The FA’s national football centre.

Despite being part of the winning the 1996 League Cup squad, long-distance running does not come naturally to Taylor.

“Am I a runner? I’d say on and off – when the mood takes me!” he quipped.

“I’ve not really put on any weight since my playing days and that‘s the problem – people still regard me as a footballer.

“I may look fit, but I’m far from it!

“I’ve never done a 10k, but have done a Great Birmingham Run [half-marathon]. That nearly killed me, because I didn’t train for it. I won’t make that mistake again!”

Johnson is in better shape than his former Derby County team-mate due to his role as Cardiff City Under-21s assistant manager.

“Because I’m still involved in football, I try to run two-three times a week,” added the former Jamaica international.

The 10k comes just days before the first anniversary of the opening of the Birmingham Drop In Cancer Support Centre that Harry’s mum Georgie runs.

Based in Stechford, the venue offers financial advice, careers support, bereavement counselling and holistic therapies to anyone affected by cancer.

Johnson said: “Ian and I have become good friends with Harry’s family and are very proud to be HHHO ambassadors.

“It’s only a small charity but it’s making a big impact on people’s lives. I think Harry would be amazed and humbled if he could see the work being conducted in his memory.

“Harry wanted to help find a cure – he was even concerned about people who would suffer brain tumours after he’d gone. That was an amazing attitude, especially from someone so young.”

Taylor, a Villa ambassador and owner of fashion driven range of Bluetooth wireless headphones, IT7 Audio, added: “It’s been tough at times for Georgie to keep the charity going but if Harry could see the work that has continued in his name, and how far the charity has progressed, I’m sure he would be very proud – especially of his mum.”

Georgie added: “I’m really touched and humbled by Ian and Michael’s ongoing support.

“Harry’s been gone for over four years now but they saw what he was trying to achieve and are helping to continue the work he started.”

More than 7,000 people are expected to take part in Birmingham’s annual 10K – which is less than three weeks away.

Georgie Moseley takes part in gruelling event despite fracturing tailbone to raise money for cancer centre

Fundraising mum Georgina Moseley said she needs a “new back, new hips and new ankles” as she completed a rollerskaterthon in memory of late son Harry, on what would have been his 16th birthday.

Georgie, 41, started the mighty task at midnight - despite fracturing her coccyx last month - she then rollerskated for 16 hours.

In one video she said: “I need a new back, new legs, new hips, new ankles. I have got blisters on blisters, but no pain no gain.

“Thank you everybody for supporting me.”

Georgie, of Sheldon, is raising money for the Birmingham Drop in Cancer Centre that she runs in Kitts Green.

She previously told how she had fractured her tailbone during a training session ahead of the challenge.

She said: “My skates got tangled into a football net and I fell onto my bum full throttle. It really hurt but I was in the middle of training so got up and carried on for another two hours.

“I haven’t been on skates for 30 years so I needed to continue with it.”

The centre opened in May as part of the Help Harry Help Others (HHHO) cancer charity which was started by her son, who died in 2011 after battling a brain tumour.

Throughout this year Georgie is asking people to do something around the number 16 to commemorate Harry’s birthday.

Our 'Charity of the Month' blogs are a celebration of the great work local charities do across Britain.

Through our 'Local Charity Partner' programme, we work with a diverse group of nearly 500 local charities - and one of those is Help Harry Help Others (HHHO).

'Britain's kindest kid'

HHHO is a cancer research charity launched by Harry Moseley - a brave boy from Birmingham once described as 'Britain's kindest kid' and who tragically lost his battle with brain cancer in 2011.

Since it started in 2009, HHHO has raised more than £750,000 to fund research into curing brain tumours. Last year, HHHO became one of the Local Charity Partners for our Sheldon office in the West Midlands and around £6,000 was raised throughout 2015.

Earlier this month, we caught up with Harry's mum, Georgie Moseley, who runs HHHO.

What do you love most about your work with HHHO?

I continued with Harry's great work due to the lack of support out in the community for cancer patients and their families which we sadly found out first hand. I am so proud that as an average working class family we have been able to address these issues to ensure that families have more support outside of hospital and hospices. Harry proved that regardless of age, wealth, lifestyle and well-being you really can make change and it's this that drives me every single day to ensure people have the support that really should  have already been there!

What are your hopes and goals for 2016?

Definitely to reach out to more cancer patients and their families so that everyone is aware of our newly opened Drop-In Cancer Support Centre which opened in 2015. Whilst 2015 was our proudest year in terms of the services we can now offer, it has also been our toughest year in terms of income generation. As a tiny charity we now need to ensure we keep the support so that we can keep spreading the #Harrylove.

What has been your favourite fundraising event or activity?

Wow, we have had so many fundraising events and I am continually doing events as it is what raises the money to keep us going. My favourites have to be the community events with the real people on the street. Strange as it sounds I love having a Harry stall outside the supermarkets just sat there selling Harry's bracelets and talking to the community. It's something me and Harry used to always do together and it's an important part of what HHHO now do. It's the bread and butter if you like to keep the money coming in. Yes we do big events like the annual charity ball, but I'm a down to earth girl from Sheldon and community is very important.

What does local charity mean to you?

Local charity is extremely important. Harry supported some amazing large charities however sometimes it all gets a bit too corporate and business like. HHHO will never grow to that point and if I'm honest I don't want it to. For me as Harry's mum it's important to keep it personal, ensure we have the time and empathy for our cancer patients rather than it becoming about stats and targets. The vision I have for HHHO to grow is to ensure that the more cancer centres we open, they are all run by someone in that community that has lived and breathed cancer and understands what support is needed in their community.

How has TSB helped HHHO?

TSB has offered phenomenal support to HHHO. Not only in terms of financial support to the charity but also in terms of awareness. It's so nice to know that TSB also believe in our cancer centre and thanks to their sponsorship of our admin office, which is the hub of the centre where we co-ordinate all the services, we have been able to ensure we have the right equipment in order for us to function and run the centre. I'm truly humbled that a small charity like ours gets the backing of such a big organisation and it's been my honour to work with TSB staff - I cannot thank them all enough!

A KIND-HEARTED teen has said goodbye to his flowing shoulder-length hair after being inspired by the tale of Harry Moseley whose story touched the nation during his four-year battle with a brain tumour.

Elliott Griffiths, who has raised more than £280 so far on his Just Giving page, braved the clippers on Saturday (January 16) at The Groom Room Barbershop at Imogen’s Hair and Beauty Salon in Headless Cross.

The decision came after a throwaway comment on Facebook, where the 19-year-old promised to cut his hair for charity if a status got 50 ‘likes’ on the social networking site.

After more than 60 likes the Winyates Green teen – who is currently studying at the University of Sunderland – agreed to get a buzz cut.

“I’ve been growing my hair for three years,” he said. “I’ve always found Harry’s story inspiring and as it’s a cause close to my heart it really touched me.

“Brain cancer takes lives everyday and I’d love for that to be a thing of the past one day.”

Both Elliott and his hairdresser, Amy, donated their chopped locks to the Little Princess Trust which provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children across the UK and Ireland who have lost their own hair due to lifesaving treatment.

You can still help Elliott help Harry by visiting https://www.justgiving.com/helpelliotthelpharry/ where you have until Monday (January 25) to donate.

IT is a truth universally acknowledged that many hands make light work.

And beloved local charity Help Harry Help Others (HHOH) found this to be true when over 1,000 UPS employees from across the country put their hands to good use to make almost 20,000 of the charity’s trademark bead bracelets.

As part of one UPS’s largest charitable campaigns in the country, more than 1,350 employees enlisted the help of friends and family to make as many bracelets as possible over the month of June.

The bracelets, which are expected to raise £40,000 in donations for the charity, help raise awareness of brain cancers and raise funds for research.

Speaking about the challenge, Sharon Hauber, HR Director UPS Ltd., said: “At UPS there’s a culture of supporting the communities where we live and work.

“We’re delighted to be able to support Harry’s campaign, and we recognise the importance of his work in eventually finding a cure for this terrible disease.”

Help Harry Help Others was inspired by Harry Moseley, who tragically died in his mother’s arms, on October 8, 2011, after a four-year battle with a brain tumour.

The Blakenhale Junior School pupil made and sold beaded bracelets in memory of a friend he made in hospital and to help raise funds to find a cure for cancer.

And even as the 11-year-old’s health deteriorated, the youngster continued raised money for Cancer Research UK through his campaign Help Harry Help Others.

Now Harry’s legacy lives on through the work of his devoted mother, Georgie, who works tirelessly to keep the charity going from strength to strength.

Describing the charity as being ‘overwhelmed’ by the support it received from management and staff at UPS, Georgie Moseley, Founder of Help Harry Help Others, said: “Everyone has really embraced the work of our tiny cancer charity and as a result their hard work, time and effort has made a huge impact on the work we deliver.

“Not only in terms of output and money but also in terms of awareness for all we do.

“It’s been an honour to have such a large organisation support us in our quest to help those with hope.”

A group of soccer-mad Aston Villa fans are gearing up for a long walk to Wembley Stadium later this month – all in aid of a good cause.

Mark Haden, aged 43, from Great Barr, is leading a troop of fans from Villa Park on Tuesday, May 26 who will be heading down to the capital in time for Aston Villa's FA Cup final clash against Arsenal that Saturday (May 30).

Mark is part of a collective of AVFC fans from across the city who walk to the club's final home games of each season to raise money in memory of Harry Moseley, the 11-year-old boy from Birmingham who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour – yet managed to raise more than £650,000 in the space of two years in the hope of finding a cure for other families in need. He died in 2011 following complications from an operation.

The group had never met before they got involved in the fund-raising a few years ago.

So far the fellow walkers include Andy Day, aged 25, and Billy Morgan, aged 16, from Erdington, as well as 24-year-old Matthew Bradley from Castle Bromwich.

In past years their challenges have included walking 150 miles to Norwich's Carrow Road stadium in 2012, they took on a 98-mile trek to the DW Stadium, home of Wigan Athletic in 2013, and pounded 75 miles of pavements to get to the City of Manchester Stadium last year, where Villa faced Manchester City. This time it is a 150-mile journey to the home of English football.

"We do this as Harry Moseley was an inspirational boy who raised so much money by selling bracelets raising a huge amount in the fight against Brain Cancer and to continue that fight in hope of finding a cure," Mark told the Observer.

"We would appreciate any support that could be given, as all the expenses like hotels etcetera are all paid by ourselves."

You can sponsor the group by visiting their JustGiving page at www.just giving.com/walk2wembley, and check out the group's progress by visiting their Facebook page, Walk 4 Harry.

HELPING people with cancer has always been at the heart of Help Harry Help Others (HHHO) since it was set up by inspirational youngster Harry Moseley.

And since Harry's death in 2011, his memory and good work has gone from strength to strength - gaining charity status and campaigners have also continued to raise funds to help people with cancer.

However, despite all the work done so far, Harry's mum Gerogie wanted to do more for cancer patients and their families, allowing them to spend much-needed time together.

Which is why she created the Help Harry Help Others Drop-in Cancer Support Centre.

Speaking to The Observer this week Georgie said: "I knew something had to be done and literally lay in bed thinking of how we could create something that would give families the support they rightfully deserve with the right level of empathy in their situation all under one roof."

Georgie said she knew too well what it was like trapesing around different organisations trying to sort things like homelessness and finances out so she wanted to create a haven of hope where people could drop into for help.

She added: "The lightbulb moment of pulling all the services and support that a family may suddenly require due to a cancer diagnosis came to me.

"The creation of A Birmingham based Drop-in Cancer Support Centre that would have everything onsite under one roof.

"Whether people just want a cuppa because they are having a bad day and feel isolated once away from hospital or they are experiencing difficult times due to the sudden change in circumstances we aim to give them as much support as possible and help them manage their situation so that they can focus on the most important thing getting through treatment and just being a family."

The news of the Drop in Centre, which will be based on Meadway in Yardley, was announced on Sunday (February 22) - which would have been Harry's 15th birthday.

Georgie and the team are planning on having a number of events and help at the HHHO Drop in Cancer Support and Wellbeing Centre including benefits advice to support groups for families and patients, craft groups to careers advice and wig and bra fitting for ladies.

But getting the centre up and running will be a challenge and Georgie is calling on businesses to help make the place feel like home.

She said they need electricians, plasterers and interior designers to help get the place looking right and after that they will be looking for volunteers who have been in a similar situation to help support families and patients during their fight.

A Birmingham charity started by a brave Sheldon schoolboy who tragically lost his battle with brain cancer has donated over half a million pounds in less than two years.

Help Harry Help Others (HHHO), named after Harry Moseley who died in October 2011 aged just 11, has distributed £500,000 to worthy causes across the city.

The cash was raised over the past 20 months through a raft of fundraising activities, including bucket collections and the sale of beaded bracelets.

Generous Harry raised money to help others while suffering from cancer himself by making and selling bracelets online.

His supporters have continued to make the bracelets for HHHO after the schoolboy passed away.

The charity has also worked alongside local businesses and sponsors to raise money.

The half a million pound pot has been shared across the charity’s three strands: Help Care, to fund professional support for children with cancer, Help Cope, to provide practical help to families affected by cancer, and Help Cure, to find a cure for brain tumours.

Among the recipients are more than 270 families who have received a total of £67,000 through the Help Cope fund, which offers direct financial support, from grants for petrol to help with funerals.

Over £100,000 has been put towards the building of the new Harry Moseley Centre at St Mary’s Hospice in Birmingham and a further £78,000 to the QE Hospital Cancer Centre to create a paediatric recovery room.

The John Taylor Hospice in Erdington has been granted £60,000 to fund family care services.

Georgie Moseley, Founder of HHHO and Harry’s mother, said: “This is such a huge achievement for us all at Help Harry Help Others.

“Continuing Harry’s work supporting those on their journey with cancer is a real pleasure for all involved and we are so grateful to our volunteers, partners and sponsors for helping us to help others.”

The charity has hopes of replicating its success this year and is already at work raising money to help more families.

THE NEC Group has raised more than £21,000 for its employee-elected charity of the year, HelpHarryHelpOthers.

Georgie Moseley, chairman and founder of HHHO, visited the National Exhibition Centre to receive the donation of £21,489.27 and was presented with a cheque decorated with beads like those used to make the ‘Harry bracelets’ the charity is famous for.

Employees from across the NEC Group raised the money through a number of fundraising activities, including making and selling bracelets, cake sales, a tuck shop, fun days, a quiz and contributions from staff ticket sales.

John Hornby, Chief Operating Officer for the NEC Group, who presented Ms Moseley with the cheque, said: “HelpHarryHelpOthers is a great charity and one that has truly touched the hearts of NEC Group employees. Georgie is truly inspirational and we wish her the very best for the future. I would like to thank each member of staff across the NEC Group who made a donation or helped with fundraising activities over the last 12 months.”

On collecting the cheque, Ms Moseley said: “HelpHarryHelpOthers has really enjoyed having the NEC Group as its charity partner.  All management and staff have been really instrumental in not only raising valuable funds for HHHO but also in creating such awareness for our charity so that we can do ‘what we say on the tin’ … Help all those children and their families affected by cancer.”

Hundreds of people enjoyed a fun-filled festival of activities organised in memory of well known fundraiser Harry Moseley.

Merry Hill shopping centre welcomed families to the HarryFest event.

Activities and games took place on the converted car park outside Eat Central at the Brierley Hill mall.

Harry Moseley, who lived in Birmingham, died aged 11 from an incurable brain tumour in 2011.

During his battle with the disease he set up the charity Help Harry Help Others and raised more than £600,000 for cancer research.His family has continued the work he started and this weekend’s event is part of the ongoing fundraising drive.

were entertained with a fun fair, a superhero-themed photo booth, live music, dancing, a roller disco, balloon modelling and face painting.

Staff from various stores in the centre also donned fancy dress for the two-day event on Friday and Saturday helping raise money for the Help Harry Help Others charity.

Hairdressers Jessica McKoy, aged 19, from Holly Hall, Dudley, and Jenna Fellows, 27, from Pensnett, Dudley, became superheroes to get in an the fun.

Jessica said: "It is a good event and we love to dress up anyway so we absolutely loved it. We got some strange looks when going to get some food but overall it was great."

Harry'smother Georgie Moseley attended the event with her partner Brian Blackwell who are doing a bike ride as part of a fundraising drive for the charity.

She said: "Harry had such a fun-loving nature, so this is a perfect event to celebrate his legacy as the charity continues to help those on their cancer journey.”

The legacy of inspirational schoolboy Harry Moseley was shining as a further appeal involving a Guinness World Record attempt in his name was unveiled.

Schoolchildren, shoppers and staff from Martineau Place will join Harry’s mum Georgina as they try to build the largest bracelet ever in honour of the inspirational fundraiser.

The plan is to ultimately build a big enough bracelet to wrap around the shopping centre, which is home to more than 30 retailers in the city centre.

Harry, from Sheldon, died on October 8, 2011 in his mother’s arms after a four-year battle with a brain tumour.

He had been in a coma at Birmingham Children’s Hospital for three months after the tumour grew by 50 per cent and he underwent major brain surgery.

Despite his health deteriorating, the 11-year-old raised half-a-million pounds for Cancer Research UK through his campaign Help Harry Help Others by making bracelets.

His family have now continued his hard work, funding vital research and supporting families in financial hardship so they can focus on their loved one.

The charity also gives back to the next generation of children by offering free workshops and schemes that help children tap into their own passions in life, and supports services providing end of life care, including hospices and nurses in the community.

Harry's mom was recently nominated for City and Styles 'Woman of the Year Awards'  due to her efforts in turning her son's Campaign HelpHarryHelpOthers into a registered Charity following his passing in 2011.

Georgie Moseley who founded the charity after Harry lost his battle to a brain tumour in 2011 has worked tirelessly to not only form a charity that supports families every step of the way through their journey but also created various children's initiatives to continue to inspire young people through Harry's story. 

In just over twelve months the charity has formed 3 funds HelpCure (funding research), HelpCope (providing financial grants to families suffering from financial hardship as a result of a Cancer Diagnosis) and HelpCare ( providing grants to other charities/services who provide core care for families during 'end of life treatment'.).

As if this isn't enough Harry's story that inspired so many people globally and Georgie wanted to continue with Harry's message. As such she has pulled together a Schools social enterprise which she delivers in schools and now takes Harry's story into Young Offenders Institutes to help rehabilitate young offenders.

Georgie said " I am really overwhelmed and shocked to be nominated, never mind to win the overall award. For me its not about awards but making a difference to all people who still have hope. Cancer is a difficult journey and its only through working as a team we can make change. I dedicate my award to all those families living in hope and of course my amazing son who is still my hero'.

Following the launch of various initiatives to  continue inspiring young people through Harry's Story including the Schools Social Enterprise, free kids workshops and the work to rehabilitate young offenders. Harry's mom Georgie hasn't stopped there. 

Georgie Moseley launched the Harryz Young Starz Awardz in partnership with South and City College and Birmingham Mail which will recognise individual children in an array of areas. The inaugral awards will recognise kids involved and doing good in all areas of life and the categories include:-  Community Charity Award, Young Carer Award, Bravery Award, Selfless Award, Harrys Hero Award, Best friend award and there will be an overall 'Harrys shining star award'. 

Georgie says "kids go above and beyond being an average child every single day. As a nation we should acknowledge and recognise those that are simply amazing. Not just those that enter into charity work but some kids are put in terrible situations and yet like Harry they achieve great things or turn into selfless adults overnight. For us as Harry's Charity this is a way of us giving back. Its not a fundraiser its simply about the amazing youngsters. The children of today are our future tomorrow and will be running the country. So many kids do great but we as a society focus on the negative and give kids bad press. Only we can change this and I intend to! Harry taught so many kids that regardless of your age, wealth, lifestyle and well being you can achieve anything in life if you are passionate. With that in mind his story has inspired thousands of kids globally.  I am extremely proud of the Awards and I intend to grow it into a national event every year so we continue to inspire our next generation"

The awards will take place at South and City College on Friday 28th February at 11am. 

On Thursday 30th January staff from Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice were joined by Georgie Moseley, Founder and Chairperson of Help Harry Help others for a progress tour of the Harry Mosely Family Centre.

The tour was a chance to view the progress of the project since work commenced in October 2013.

It was funding of £100,000 from Help Harry Help Others that enabled this much needed addition to the Hospice’s existing facilities to go ahead. This support is in addition to major funding from the Department of Health’s Grant Programme for Hospices.

The Harry Moseley Family Centre will be a comfortable, multi-purpose space offering families the privacy they need during a difficult time, but with the safety of 24 hour care from the Hospice’s specialist medical team. It will be fully accessible from the existing in-patient ward, flexible enough to accommodate the needs of multiple families or extended family members, and have its own fully accessible garden.

Georgie said; “I am so moved by the work of St Marys Hospice and the care it provides to hundreds of families every year. Help Harry Help Others feel very privileged and proud to help with the building of the Harry Moseley Family Centre which will undoubtedly have such an impact of families at a very difficult time in their lives”.

The project is due for completion in March, so keep an eye on our website for details of the grand opening!

Eze group help spread Xmas love with Harry

HELP HARRY CHARITY HOPING FOR BIG SCORE AT ST ANDREW’S

Blues fans are being urged to dig deep for charity at this Saturday’s Nottingham Forest fixture at St Andrew’s when an army of volunteers from Birmingham based Help Harry Help Others will be leading the fundraising.

The match-day collection for HHHO has been organised by the EZE Group Foundation as part of EZE Group’s diamond partnership with Birmingham City FC.

Georgie Moseley, chairman and founder of the charity, joined Blues players Jonathan Spector and Tom Adeyemi to help promote the fundraising bonanza which will see around 25 volunteers out in force with collection buckets selling the iconic Help Harry Help Others bracelets.

Help Harry Help Others has been the official charity of Birmingham City FC since 2012. Like many others, the club was inspired by the brave story of young Harry Moseley who first visited St Andrew’s to sell the bracelets shortly before he died of brain cancer, aged just 11. In two years Harry raised more than £650,000, winning the hearts and minds of others through his determination, love of life and, most of all, his desire to “make a difference.”

“We are so proud to be associated with Blues and can’t thank EZE Group and the fans enough for the way they have supported us in carrying on Harry’s legacy, said Georgie. “We know Christmas time puts a financial strain on everyone, but we want fans to think of other families who have been crippled by cancer.

“With one in two men and one in four women likely to be struck by cancer, those fans at the game on Saturday are sure to know a family who has suffered, but by donating to our collection they can help us support others in the Birmingham area.”

As well as showing their backing by purchasing a “Blues” bracelet, fans will have an opportunity to select from a range of other designs including a Christmas one which could make an ideal stocking filler.

All cash raised will go towards funding vital research into brain cancer and supporting families of children living with all forms of cancer The charity’s mission to help cope, help care and help cure has touched the hearts of millions of people including young children.

To find out more about the charity, please visit www.hhho.org.uk, follow them on twitter - #HHHO Day, @harry_moseley or like their Facebook page by searching for ‘helpharryhelpothers.’ Donations of £5 can also be made by texting Harry to 70800.

Harry's Dream comes true

Help Harry Help Others:

UK’s Kindest Boy’s Dreams Come True

Harry Moseley was an incredible young man who captured the heart of the nation with his campaigning to raise funds for brain cancer research, fundraising up and down the country with his famous bracelets.

Despite suffering from a brain tumour himself, he was inspired to act following the death of his close friend and fellow patient Robert Harley, raising over £650,000 through his campaigning. Harry sadly died on October 11th 2011 after spending 14 weeks in a coma, and his passing was covered by all national media.

Help Harry Help Others

Harry’s ultimate dream was to start his own charity. Following his death and the ever increasing levels of public and media support, Harry’s family have decided to fulfil his dream and on September 26th launchHelp Harry Help Others, a charity designed to help all families suffering from cancer in 3 specific ways:

·  1. Help Cure – raising funds specific to Brain Tumour research. Brain tumours have increased over 30% in the last 30 years and now kill more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer, and yet it only receives 0.7% of funding from Governmental Cancer research resources.

·  2. Help Cope – the financial and emotional strain when any person is diagnosed with cancer has drastic effects on the whole family. We ease this by offering financial support, holidays, Christmas presents and day to day help for families of anyone suffering from any form of cancer.

·  3. Help Care – raising money to support end of life care facilities and support services so that for all those who only have memories to leave, those memories are happier ones.

Help Harry Help Others Chairman, and Harry’s mum, Georgie Moseley explains:

“Harry achieved so much in his life. He inspired so many people to do more to help other people, bringing families and communities together. He was my best friend and I miss him every day, but I know he would want me to carry on his efforts, and to keep spreading the ‘Harry Love’. Today isn’t just about celebrating everything Harry achieved, but also about looking to the future and starting the next chapter in his story”.

With celebrity supporters such as Duncan Bannatyne, Ben Shepherd and John Terry amongst others, Help Harry Help Others is set to become a leading figure in the Third Sector.

Donation of £103,000 to St Mary's HospiceHelp Harry Help Others and Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice partner to build a new family care centre

Construction of a brand new family centre has started this week at Birmingham St Mary's Hospice. The work signals the beginning of an exciting new partnership between the Hospice and Help Harry Help Others (hhho.org.uk).

The Harry Moseley Family Centre at Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice will enable families to stay at the Hospice to be with a loved one. This could be during a period of medical review; whilst medical staff manage the symptoms of an illness or assess a patient’s readiness to return home, or during the precious final days.

Funding of £103,000 from Help Harry Help Others has enabled this much needed addition to the Hospice’s existing facilities to go ahead. This is in additional to major funding from The Department of Health’s Grant Programme for Hospices.

The Harry Moseley Family Centre will be a comfortable, multi-purpose space offering families the privacy they need during a difficult time, but with the safety of 24 hour care from our specialist medical team. It will be fully accessible from the existing in-patient ward, flexible enough to accommodate the needs of multiple families or extended family members, and have its own fully accessible garden.

Georgina Moseley, Help Harry Help Others Founder said: “We are honoured to be supporting the construction of this new family centre. I know how important it is for families to be together when a loved one is living with terminal illness, so for us to help Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice to give other families the space and freedom to be together is wonderful.”

Tina Swani, Birmingham St Mary's Hospice Chief Executive said: “We pride ourselves on the support we offer to the entire family of an individual living with terminal illness. We encourage families to spend as much time as they need at the Hospice and this new centre will help us to give families greater comfort, space and privacy during this precious time with a loved one. We are so very grateful for the support of Help Harry Help Others. This new facility will help many more families, now and in the future, to build happy memories of a loved one.”

The design for the brand new centre has been created by architect, Paul Hicking. GI Sykes, will carry out the construction of the building, working closely with Arc Project Management.

GLYNN PURNELL COOKS UP A STORM

IN MEMORY OF HARRY MOSELEY

Michelin-starred chef Glynn Purnell with Jo-anne Till and Jonathan Till

of GT Access, who paid £5,000 for the prize

Glynn Purnell has helped raise £5,000 for ‘Help Harry Help Others’ by donating his time to one lucky winner who got to sample his Michelin-starred cuisine in the comfort of their own home.

Last year saw the first-ever Harry Moseley charity ball, which took place at the ICC and welcomed hundreds of the city’s leading business people gather together in the memory of the late Harry Moseley. As part of the event, which raised over £100,000 for Help Harry Help Others, Glynn Purnell donated his time to the auction and gave one lucky winner the chance to sample his award-winning cuisine in their own home.

The prize included a four-course meal for six people to be prepared and cooked by him in person at the home of the highest bidder. Jo-anne Till and Jonathan Till, of GT Access, won with a £5,000 bid and welcomed Glynn and his team into their home. Unable to decide who to invite, Glynn agreed to cook and serve a sumptuous Sunday lunch increasing the party up to 10 guests.

He said:

“I have been extremely impressed and humbled by everyone’s efforts and how Harry’s fundraising legacy has continued with the official launch of the Help Harry Help Others charity.

“In his 11 years, Harry Moseley managed to raise more money and awareness from his charitable work than most people could in a lifetime. His dedication and bravery was an inspiration to everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him and his family.”

Glynn is a real family man and despite being his only day off, he spent his Sunday with another family in aid of Help Harry Help Others.  He continued:

“It is vital we continue to raise awareness as this is what Harry started and what he truly believed would make a difference. It is brilliant that a local Brummie lad managed to achieve this, helping so many others along the way.

“I wanted to offer a special auction prize, giving my time to the charity rather than donating a meal at the restaurant.  It was fantastic to spend a Sunday cooking lunch for another family. It was such fun and I hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did.”

Glynn cooked up a four-course storm for the Till family, consisting of ham hock with escabeche winter vegetables and taste of British seafood. This was followed by Dover beef with confit potatoes and green puree, and a burnt egg custard surprise to finish.

After the meal, Jo-anne Till said:

“What a fantastic way to spend your Sunday in the company of such lovely people, Glynn & his team were an absolute joy to have around. Glynn was such a friendly guy, he made everyone feel that they were part of the day giving all the guests tips in the kitchen and letting everyone help with some element of the preparation, if they so wished. The food… well that was nothing short of amazing. 

She added:

“All of Glynn’s team were fabulous; nothing was too much trouble and everything had been thought of. We can’t thank them enough and they all selflessly gave up there Sunday to make our day one we will never forget so again to Glynn, Hannah, Luke, Tom and Sonal; Big Big Thanks.”

The Harry Moseley charity ball was organised by local businessmen, PJ Ellis and Tim Andrews, who were both inspired by Harry Moseley. The duo knew that Birmingham had a lot to thank Harry for and decided that a glitzy charity ball would be the best way to remember him.  They organised, what many people have claimed to be the ‘Charity Ball of the Year’, which raised £100,000 for the Help Harry Help Others charity.

Following on from the success of the 2012 event, the Harry Moseley Ball returns to the city on Saturday 19 October 2013 at the ICC, to mark the short but selfless life of an incredible child. Tickets will go on sale at the end of March and full details can be found on the events page at www.HelpHarryHelpOthers.org.uk

As part of the partnership we are encouraging kids to get creative and help create a poster for the event! For more info visit the link below...

There will be lots more news on the event and how you can come along and enjoy the incredible occasion...so stay tuned!!!

ACE’ OPPORTUNITY FOR KIDS TO DESIGN MASCOT FOR INTERNATIONAL TENNIS EVENT, THE AEGON CLASSIC

The Midlands’ largest international tennis tournament, the Aegon Classic, is tasking school children to help design a new Tournament mascot.

Arty children across the West Midlands are being urged to get involved in a school art competition to design their very own tennis mascot and support fundraising for local charity, Help Harry Help Others.

Staged in the heart of Birmingham, the Aegon Classic is one the of the UK’s major warm-up tournaments ahead of The Championships, Wimbledon. Offering the chance to see some of the world’s top international female tennis players, this prestigious tournament is returning to Birmingham’s Edgbaston Priory Club from the 9^th to the 16^th June .

As well as seeing their design displayed at the tournament, the child who draws the winning picture will also be a mascot at the Grand Opening of the new Centre Court on Sunday 9^th  June standing alongside two great champions of the past. Not only that, but the winning child will also win tennis equipment for themselves and their school.

A further four deserving runners up will also win tickets for their family (2 adults and 2 children) to attend on Sunday 9^th June as well as an equipment pack for themselves and their school.

To enter, children simply need to draw a picture of their mascot and write a brief description about their character, including any special powers they may have.

Lawrence Robertson, Commercial Director for the LTA, said: “We know tennis is a popular sport with kids across the Midlands, so we wanted them the chance to get involved with an important year for the Aegon Classic as we open our new Centre Court for the first time.

“As well as this, we are delighted to be working closely with the charity Help Harry Help Others and through the tournament we hope to help raise vital funds for them.”

Georgina Moseley, Chairman and Founder of Help Harry Help Others said; “We’re really excited to have been announced at the Official charity for the Aegon Classic this year. We’re really looking forward to working together to continue to the inspiring work Harry started.

“Just 1% of national spend is on brain tumours, and with more children dying from this type of cancer than any other, we hope that through our fundraising we can change these statistics. So much of our work is about inspiring children the way Harry did, so it seems right that kids are playing such a big role in making this event something we as a community can all be proud to be a part of.”

“It would be great if some of the mascots the children draw are wearing Harry’s bracelets!”

The LTA, the tournament organisers and Help Harry Help Others will also select a second child who has been affected by cancer to line-up alongside the Legends to giving them a day they won’t forget.

The judges will be looking for the most colourful and inspiring entries and the competition is open to children aged between 5 and 11 years old.

Harry Moseley was an incredible young man who captured the heart of the nation with his campaigning to raise funds for brain cancer research, fundraising up and down the country with his famous bracelets.

Despite suffering from a brain tumour himself, he was inspired to act following the death of his close friend and fellow patient Robert Harley, raising over £650,000 through his campaigning. Harry sadly died on October 11^th 2011 after spending 14 weeks in a coma, and his passing was covered by all national media.

Harry’s ultimate dream was to start his own charity. Following his death and the ever increasing levels of public and media support, Harry’s family have decided to fulfil his dream and on September 26^th 2012 launched Help Harry Help Others. The Charity aims to fund Brain Cancer research programmes and support families on their own cancer journeys.

As Georgina Moseley, chairman and founder of HelpHarryHelpOthers explains “Harry achieved so much in his life. He inspired so many people to do more to help other people, bringing families and communities together. He was my best friend and I miss him every day, but I know he would want me to carry on his efforts, and to keep spreading the ‘Harry Love’.”

As part of their efforts Smart Homes of Solihull today announced they would be launching into partnership with HelpHarryHelpOthers, donating a percentage of their profits to help continue the legacy of young Harry Moseley.

“Over the last couple of months we have been searching for the right charity to support” explains Smart Homes Founder and Director, Jamie Smart “and after careful consideration I decided that it was definitely a local charity that we wanted to raise money for.”

 I have four children myself and after seeing the press coverage of Harry and after my meeting with the very enthusiastic  Adam Rickitt from Help Harry Help Others my feelings were confirmed that Help Harry Help Others was the right charity for my team to help raise money for.”

The aim is that for every property that Smart Homes are instructed to sell and subsequently agree a sale on and see through to completion Smart Homes will give a percentage of their selling commission to Help Harry Help Others. 

Smart Homes have set themselves the target of raising £5000 pounds in 2013 to support Help Harry Help Others which will enable the charity to support up to 100 families throughout this year.   To donate to Help Harry Help Others please do not hesitate to contact the charity direct or take part in this venture with your house sale by contacting Smart Homes.

Goodchilds estates agents yesterday welcomed Georgie Moseley from Help Harry Help Others to their offices, where all 15 branches came together to help support the charity by hand making bracelets to take away with them for the public. Teams from across the area joined forces, where they heard Georgie speak about her remarkable son Harry Moseley, who captured the hearts of the Nation with his efforts to help fund research into curing Brain Cancer.

Before his tragic death in 2011, Harry raised over £600,000 to combat this disease which now kills more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Help Harry Help Others was launched by Georgie in September 2012 to continue Harry’s legacy of not only raising funds for Brain cancer research, but also to continue inspiring other children to be proactive in their own local communities.

“Harry was such a kind and selfless little boy” explains Georgie “who only ever wanted to make sure no one else had to die from this terrible affliction. Right up until the day he passed away he gave all his energy, all his time and all his smiles to those people and families affected by cancer, and the inspiration he provided to other school children meant that we could never abandon them and let his example end”.

Invited by Goodchilds Managing Director Dave Warke, Help Harry Help Others spent the day with representatives from all their branches across the area, where they were told more about Harry’s journey and the Charity’s aims. Then the teams got cracking hand making bracelets which will then be given to members of the public by way of thanks for donation from each of their branches.

Corporate and responsibility is something that Goodchilds has embedded throughout its team and the culture of the organization; working with charities every year since the companies formation, we are also official partners with leukemia research.

Managing Director Dave Warke comments “ With so many Good people and great companies now affording time and funds to charity work we were very proud last year to have been shortlisted for the  Cecil Jackson-Cole Award for Corporate Social Responsibility by the Sunday times. We have won awards for the best estate agency in the Midlands, however these results are based on our performance and numbers shone through. However whilst the money we have raised for leukemia research and other charities is admirable, some companies had raised hundreds or thousands of pounds but the judges saw our teams genuine commitment to charity and that they committed their own time and the company let them use paid time for these good causes.”

“Whilst every charity Goodchilds works with have their own merits and do a fantastic job, we are extremely excited and feel honored to be working with a local charity that has already raised so much money and is run in the memory of a very special individual.

For this reason any person who instructs Goodchilds to sell or let their property on or before February 28^th and mentions ‘Help Harry Help others’ Goodchilds will donate £50 of their fee when Goodchilds subsequently sell or let the property.”

With Charity CEO, and former Coronation Street, Actor Adam Rickitt on board the Charity looks to support families going through cancer, whilst raising funds specific to Brain Cancer research. “We want to carry on Harry’s efforts, spreading the ‘Harry Love’ as we call it” explains Adam “whilst at the same time working closely with schools and children, encouraging them to get fundraising in their own communities, be it for us or for anything else they care about. It’s all about carrying on the example Harry set us, of giving a bit of time for others around us, and about following the inspiration he created. Working with Goodchilds Estate agents is a great step towards completing Harry’s dream and we are so grateful to them for all their support.”
