Charity of the year
Our charity of the year from January 2024 is Children’s Hospice South West.
For more than 30 years Children’s Hospice South West has been caring for children and young people with life-threatening conditions by providing children’s hospice and professional family support services. They are dedicated to making the most of short and precious lives through the provision of the best possible hospice care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions. The care offered at each of their 3 hospices is not just about medical and nursing support for children and young people but also enriching the lives of the children and their whole family.

CHSW will be our nominated charity until the end of the year.
Promoting Children in Plymouth (PCIP) was our nominated charity last year and a total of £4000 was raised.
