Story
I’m A Banker Get Me Outta Here (2011)
I'm a Banker was inspired by Liliana de Cristofano, daughter of Sarah and Roberto. She has a rare degenerative brain disorder and has been a user of Little Havens Children's Hospice for 7 years now. The respite stays and home care she receives are fantastic for both Lili and the rest of the family and they would be lost without them.
A group of about 200 friends from various banking institutions are planning another weekend of support at the Little Haven’s Children Hospice nr. Southend-on-Sea.
From Saturday 12th to Sunday 13th March 2011 we will spend 24 hours at Little Haven’s (sleeping at the grounds in a Marquee) offering support by doing work at the hospice as well as providing entertainment for the children and their families.
Some of the tasks that have been carried out in the past include:·
Maintenance and repairs in the Hospice buildings
Gardening and tidying in the Hospice grounds
We also organise a party for some of the children who use the hospice and their siblings, this includes:
Fancy dress, entertainment, face and nail painting, craft and a sensory room. Also lots of lovely food - especially cakes!!
The weekend in March 2011 will be the seventh event that we have hosted and we hope that it will be better than last year. In the six events to date we have raised approx £700,000 and hope to add to this in 2011.
Help us to support the excellent work and care that is provided by both Fair Havens Adult Hospice and Little Havens Children's Hospice.
