Sophie’s Legacy is a charity created in her memory by her incredible family.

The charity will continue to support families whose children have been admitted to the hospital by providing food, toiletries, or anything else that helps families during their stay. The charity will also provide art therapy in hospital. It will continue to campaign and lobby the government, cancer charities and the NHS to create change in awareness of signs and symptoms of childhood cancer, quicker process to diagnose children, improve food standards, ensure parents are fed, and provide play specialists 7-days a week.

Sophie’s Legacy raised over £25,000 at this event last year, and this year we hope to smash that target and raise much more needed money and awareness of the charity to be able to provide these services.

The event is being held at Gosport Borough Football Club on Bank Holiday Monday 8th May 2023.

Doors open at 10.30am.
Kids match 12.15pm

Bouncy castle
Face painting
Ice cream van
Sweet stall
Cake stall
Raffle and refreshments

Aqua Platinum Projects have been involved in many fundraising events in the last year and will continue to be in the future for this amazing cause and are honoured to have got to know Sophie’s mum, Charlotte Fairall personally over the last year, making Sophie’s Legacy our official charity, so watch this space.

These annual awards are the highest accolades in the industry, attracting hundreds of entries along with thousands of online votes each year, before being scrutinised by an independent judging panel.

Christina Connor, from the award organisers, said, “Despite strong competition, Aqua Platinum Projects stood out for the jury because they ticked all the boxes across project delivery. They scored top marks in design, with the judges commenting on the practicality of their outstanding-looking designs.

“The judges remarked on how APP consistently specified top-drawer, proven and quality products in the specification of equipment for its projects. Even more than that, APP are a company bursting with pride and passion for their work, making them worthy representatives of the UK pool industry as a whole.”

Ryan Fronda, Aqua Platinum Projects Founder, said, “We are delighted to have been crowned the winners of both these prestigious awards. The achievement is a real testament to how our talented team’s expertise and unique bespoke approach leads the way in delivering the ultimate in luxury pools and wellness suites.”

The change in leadership follows a successful year during which we have continued to evolve the way that pool, spa, and wellness facilities are designed and delivered, culminating in winning Pool Contractor of the Year and Luxury Pool of the Year in the industry’s top awards.

Ryan say’s ”I’d like to offer my congratulations to Dominic on his appointment, which is fully deserved. He has been an invaluable asset to this company over many years and has played a major role in APP’s success to date. I am immensely proud of what we continue to achieve and with Dominic taking over as Managing Director I know will reach even greater heights.
