Raising money for

Children's Hospice South West

Charity Registration No. 1003314

At Children’s Hospice South West we help and support children and their families who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and we are the only organisation in the South West to provide vital hospice care to these families. Some families come to us for palliative care, some for emergency care and many for planned respite and a rare opportunity for a break away. But there’s more to it than that. We provide a loving and caring place for every member of the families who stay with us. A place where everyone can begin to forget their worries for a while, be a family again and find expert help and support in facing an uncertain future.

Our services are free to the families who need us because we believe that nothing should get in the way of very sick children receiving the very best care. So, with little government funding, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to deliver our promise to ‘make the most of short and precious lives’.

Children’s Hospice South West has two purpose-built hospices in the South West. Little Bridge House in North Devon and Charlton Farm in North Somerset. A third special home from home for life-limited children in Cornwall and Plymouth, is due to open in 2011 called Little Harbour.

My story

Welcome to The Great British Antiques Web Fundraising Challenge 2009.

June 2009 Update.
This is our first-ever fundraising campaign and It's proving to be a be a very exciting time for us. So far we've received donations and support from many in the Great British antiques trade and hoteliers.

Early in the year we appealed for used postage stamps and got an immediate response! We later launched a Chain of Collecting boxes, asking anyone with retail premises to accept one for us, again good response.

Following this we launched Web Links, an easy to navigate web page that provides direct links to members of the antiques trade, for just a £2 donation to CHSW we will place a link on the page for a full year. Many have seen this as great value as we have had supporters from not only the Southwest but as far away as the Midlands, the East coast and Southeast. Thanks to everyone concerned.

We have now raised over £200 and considering the current financial climate I think this is a fantastic achievement, thanks again to everyone and please enjoy the good weather (hopefully) this summer brings!

The Great British Antiques Web is an online resource of the British antiques trade, and as a small way of thanks for your donation we have created a special 'thank you' webpage where we would like to invite everyone to send in a message or upload a photo. If yours is of personal support or experience of CHSW perhaps maybe you would like to share it with others. If you wish to donate on behalf of your business, antiques or otherwise please add a photo and a little self promotion, thanks. To add your special message please CLICK HERE.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to donate and the Children's Hospice South West gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement is added to your donation.

Very many thanks for your kind consideration.
