Story
Over 150 colleagues from the Cobham
and Dartford offices of Willmott Dixon Construction will be taking part in the
2016 Cobham Challenge - Lake District Legacy!
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.
As our name suggests this year we are heading to the Lakes! Our challenge will
take place by the lake of Ullswater commencing 24th June.
Our team will undertake a challenge like no other, Why? So we can make a
difference...
Our two day challenge will comprise
of up to four activities running concurrently. Although the main purpose of the
challenge is to raise much needed funds for Chestnut Tree House we can
guarantee that the weekend will be full of fun, laughter and determination as
we work together to create our Legacy.
