We are officially halfway through our Year of Charity and so far, have raised a total of £4869 for our wonderful charities:
Dorset Mind The B.U.G.S Fund Cornwall Hospice Care TYA Big Little Theatre School
And we have many more to come! Including the Dorset Air Ambulance, Julia’s House and Lewis Manning Hospice as part of their 30 for 30 campaign!
This month, we’ll be raising money for Forest Holme Hospice Charity!
Originally named Friends of Forest Holme, the charity was established on 26 April 1994 to fundraise for the new specialist palliative care unit – Forest Holme Hospice. The Charity has since been committed to funding additional nursing staff, counsellors, a variety of therapies, medical equipment and practical fixtures and fittings to make the Hospice a more homely environment. Their vision is to enhance the quality of life for anyone affected by a life limiting illness, ensuring everyone has equal access to support.
They are committed to:
Providing emotional and practical support
Supporting innovation and research
Striving for equity of service provision
Supporting training and education
Raising our funds cost effectively
The charity needs to raise £900,000 a year to fund the care and support they provide and we hope to help towards this goal for 2022! We'll be donating £5 for every sale throughout June and doing some inhouse fundraising too!
