Christchurch community support for local life limited children.
By Touch for life | Monday, January 11, 2010, 10:29
Christchurch Sainsbury’s have
adopted Julia’s House as their charity of the Year and the year got off to a
great start when they staged a fashion show which raised £1,000 on 25th
November.
Julia's House is Dorset's
only hospice dedicated to children with life-limiting conditions. See www.juliashouse.org.
for more information.
The majority of the children cared for are
unlikely to live beyond the age of 18.
Julia's House relies upon the generosity of
the Dorset community to continue its
life-changing work for seriously ill children and their families, with only
approximately 3 per cent of this amount coming from the Government, every
donation - large or small - is vital.
Christchurch Sainsbury’s will
also be sending staff members to abseil 500ft off Guys Hospital in London with
Julia’s House, the highest civilian abseil in the UK, on March 24th, places
are still available.
