2017 Cobham Challenge- Forest 500 · 22 June 2017

The Foundation, established by Willmott Dixon Group, is part of a community investment programme, giving money and staff time to charities and local community projects. It also backs causes supported by our employees in their own time and makes a contribution to their fundraising.

Story

If I have any toes left from all the training we have been doing. I will be taking part in below.I have never had blisters like it... A few people can vouch for this! Not that I have let it stop me, it is all for a great cause. I would much appreciate any support and donations.

Over 150 colleagues from the Cobham and Dartford offices of Willmott Dixon Construction will be taking part in the 2017 Cobham Challenge – Forest 500! This year we will be raising funds to support Chestnut Tree House. This is the only children's hospice in East and West Sussex and cares for over 280 children and young adults from 0-25 years of age with progressive life-limiting conditions from Sussex and South East Hampshire. There are potentially 1,000 families with life-limited children in Sussex. Chestnut Tree House offers support for the whole family including psychological and bereavement support, end of life and short break care and sibling support.
