Children's Hospice South West (CHSW) provides hospice stays, emergency care, palliative care and end of life care at 3 children's hospices; Little Bridge House in Devon, Charlton Farm in North Somerset and Little Harbour in Cornwall.

CHSW relies largely on donations to ensure this vital service can continue.

On May 08th 2026 a team of staff from Charlton Farm are taking on 'The Fan Dance' in the Brecon Beacons. The Fan Dance is part of the Fitness and Navigation phase of the selection process for the United Kingdom's Special Forces, as well as 16 Air Assault Brigade's Pathfinder Platoon and as part of Platoon Commanders' Battle Course (PCBC) for all British Infantry Officers

The Fan Dance is a 15-mile (24 km) load bearing march that takes place at the end of the first week of the selection course. It is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical and mental aptitude to complete the selection.

Please help us reach our fundraising target to provide care and support to babies, children, young people and their families across the South West that use Charlton Farm.
