Getting together again

The easing of lockdown restrictions has meant some small but very welcome changes for our families, staff and volunteers

After what feels like forever we’ve re-introduced some hospice sessions, and it’s put a big smile on everyone’s face! The beautiful weather means children have been able to spend time exploring the sensory garden and outdoor play space. It’s lovely to hear their laughter and see how much they are enjoying being back.

Looking ahead, we hope to be able to reinstate group family support events in the autumn, depending on government guidelines.

Our fundraising teams have also enjoyed the benefits of being able

to get out and about a little more. We held a charity clay pigeon shoot and silent auction at Ranston Farm in Dorset, which was tremendously successful and allowed us to raise enough money to fund Nurse Molly for up to two years!

The Big Jump was also able to go ahead, and we want to send our heartfelt thanks to all the intrepid skydivers who raised money for Julia’s House families – you’re all heroes!

After having to cancel our large scale fundraising events last year due to the pandemic, we are now full steam ahead with our 2021 events. We can’t wait to give you a big, warm welcome whether you plan to hike, cycle, run or host a get-together. However you choose to support us, we’ll be with you every step of the way, providing tips and advice and supporting you to stay safe while you fundraise.
