Three club members visited Hope House to present a cheque for £10,260 to Lynsey Kilvert the Head of Fund Raising.
Lynsey explained that this year’s donation to Hope House Children’s Hospices was made as part of their Final Moments Matter Campaign. The campaign aimed to raise £500,000 to ensure that the best end of life care would be available to every child and family in our local area in 2022. Every penny raised for the campaign was doubled therefore our donation of £10,000 has become £20,000. The donation will fund crisis care for two children.
It was also an opportunity to view the almost completed reception canopy to which the 2020 donation contributed and as it had been possible to obtain matched funding meaning the Tree of Light donation was again worth over £20,000. Present was John Wardle who videoed the cheque presentation and Venn Davies who represented the club and the outdoor photographer. The three of us posed between the cheque presentation and the canopy group pictures. Present also President Peter and Wendy from Ironbridge, DG Robyn and Anne from The Wrekin, President David and Chris from Telford Centre.
