UK 2017

SEPTEMBER ‘2017 BRIT INVASION OF THE USA’ FEATURES ON THE USA 2017 page


Ipswich Grange Farm Ed BEST

The epitome of Muscles for Charity – Steady Eddie.

Featured here during the ‘Belgian Invasion’ of the UK in the summer of 2017, the Muscles co-founders commitment to the team is reflected by his 130 mile return journey to almost every UK job.

 


THE SEAMLESS HAND OVER OF ‘TAT’

Muscles for Charity have featured at Felixstowe Seafront (Car Boot Sales) on Sunday mornings for several years as locally based ‘Lady Sarah’ exchanged ‘tat’ for cash and enabled the UK Muscles team Tool Fund to prosper.

The amazing Lady Sarah can sleep longer, and enjoy early morning tea at home, in 2017 as the Bentley family seamlessly slip into collection and sales mode, assisted by Muscles team members.

Thanks to everyone who helped make Val’s day !

The day after the job, Janet e-mailed, “Please use what ever u need Val has just rung to say how pleased she was when she looked out the window this morning and could see all the way down to the end. At 92 we are all proud of her and happy for her to go on the website as long as you dont put mine at 52 !!! All of you do a fantastic job. Val is donating cancer research and to St Elizabeths Hospice as this is close to our hearts and as my mum died of breast cancer at 69. We will also donate simons dads old tools etc to be donated to charity and will pass them on to Bernie to hand over. 

Bernie’s response –If anyone outside of MFC has wondered why we do this – this sums it up nicely with a stereotypical True Story 😉
