On Friday 23 May, 35 BLP employees will be leaving London on a challenging bike ride to Paris in aid of Havens Hospices (Berwin Leighton Paisner's 2008 charity of the year).  Please sponsor us and help support the valuable work that Havens Hospices does.

The charity runs two hospices - one for adults and one for children. Both provide care and support to patients, as well as their families, suffering from life threatening or limiting illnesses.  Fair Havens is the adult hospice based in Westcliff on Sea, Essex, caring for patients within the local communities of South East Essex. It has provided 25 years of hospice care for over 18,000 patients and their families. The services they offer to patients and their families include an in-patient unit, a day care centre, community Macmillan nursing, family support and care including bereavement services. Little Havens is the children's hospice for the whole of Essex and outer parts of London. The hospice has been established for 10 years, providing care for over 900 children and their families. They offer a range of specialist services, including a 24 hour help line, nursing care, counselling services including bereavement and sibling support, and family care including relief to parents and other family members from the burden of providing continuous care and support to their child. For more details see http://www.havenshospices.org.uk/

Please note that using this site is also an efficient way to sponsor us: Havens Hospices will receive your money quickly and, if you are sponsoring as an individual and are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your generous sponsorship and support.
