Chris Flynn’s story
Chris is a long-term local supporter of the Peter Pan Centre. He uses his position in the community as a local business owner, Giliker Flynn Independent Wealth Ltd, to maximise his fundraising efforts and raise awareness for the charity. He has been involved in a variety of ways, including running the Potters ‘Arf half marathon and raising over £1,500, making regular donations and volunteering his time to help organise the Peter Pan annual Charity Golf Day every year.
I really appreciate what I have, I feel so lucky to have my daughters Norah and Heidi, they are everything to me! I understand some people have a more difficult parenting journey, so I want to play a part in helping and support others in more challenging situations. I enjoy raising money for the Peter Pan Centre as I know it makes a huge difference to the children they look after, and their families. Plus it’s my way of showing gratitude as I wouldn’t like to take my circumstances for granted.
Meet Aslan & Kherun
Aslan joined the Peter Pan family in August 2023. He has autism and is non-verbal. He was struggling at his mainstream nursery because of difficulties with social communication and interaction; he found it hard to regulate his emotions; he had a short attention span and had no sense of fear or danger.
His Aunt Kherun told us, “When Aslan came to Peter Pan we could not believe how much he was coming out of his shell. By identifying his unique needs and supporting him in such a tailored way, he improved so much, becoming more affectionate and being able to hold his focus for a longer time.” Kherun wanted to give something back to the charity in 2024, so she decided to take part in our skydive challenge event. She said, “This charity is very close to my heart. Skydiving has been on my bucket list for over 12 years, so after seeing a flyer and thinking back to how much the centre has helped my family, I jumped at the opportunity (pardon the pun!)
Aslan’s aunt travelled all the way from West London to take part in the jump at Tilstock Airfield. She loved the excitement of the jump and was ready to do it all over again as soon as her feet landed on the ground – and she raised a fantastic £700 for the charity. Kherun added, “I reached my target and then some, which made me very proud as I know how much of a difference this makes to all the children and families currently involved with the Peter Pan Centre, families just like mine.”
