Story
*** Upcoming event: Callum and his closest friends will walk from Bristol to Exmouth (c.90 miles) over 3 days | March 27th - 29th 2026. ***
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
As a business, the beginning of our year started off with some incredibly sad news. One of our advisers, Callum and his wife Charlotte, lost their baby boy to still birth at 26 weeks. Billy was a precious and beautiful little boy and Callum and Charlotte’s loss has brought an unimaginable amount of grief and sadness to them and their family, but also a great sadness to all of us at Lansdown Place.
Callum and family found great support at this difficult time from Southmead Hospital Charity and access to their Maple Suite which is a private space for families who sadly lose their baby during pregnancy or shortly after birth. As such we have chosen to focus our fundraising this year on supporting the important work this facility provides.
As a team we enjoying coming together to spend time together outside of the office, especially if we can raise money for a good cause at the same time. Alongside the funds we raise from our office 'tuck shop' and Bake Off competitions we will also be holding some bigger events for you to support or get involved in.
Past events this year have included:
- Sat 14th June: The annual 'Lansdown Place Big Walk' where a team of colleagues walked 20 miles in one day in and around Bristol
- Sun 21st Sept: Charlotte's mum Penny ran the Cheltenham Half Marathon - Well done Penny!!
- Thurs 2nd October: Charity Quiz Night in central Bristol attended by staff, friends and clients raising over £1000
At the end of the year, the funds we have raised through this page will be matched by Lansdown Place (up to £10,000) and the total will be donated to Southmead Hospital Charity. St. James's Place will also match that value and donate the same amount into the SJP Charitable Foundation grants programme, so a £1 donation will mean £4 being received by charities at the end of the year.
