Dear Friend,

As you may be aware Naomi House has been impacted by the collapse of the Icelandic Banks and is currently fighting to have the £5.7million returned, so they can continue to complete their good work. 

Naomi House, with a further 25 charities are lobbying the government to get the money returned. Naturally this will be a long process, so I and many others are hoping to plug some of the gap in the short term.

If you don't know what Naomi House do, please find a summary below:

Naomi House children's hospice opened in June 1997 to provide respite care, terminal care and bereavement support for children and families from across the south of England.

We provide care and support through good days, difficult days and last days to children, young people and their families from the counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Surrey, West Sussex and Wiltshire.

It costs over £2.5 million a year to provide and extend our service, and with just 10% of our funding coming from Government, we are dependent upon voluntary and charitable support.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Naomi House Children’s Hospice (Wessex Children's Hospice Trust) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks for your support,

Ross
