Thank you to Howdens Joinery in Bishops Stortford who have very generously donated a brand new kitchen hob for one of our holiday homes! The hob will be fitted into the charity's Lodge in the New Forest, where many families will be staying this summer to enjoy some relaxing, quality time together.

Another branch in Christchurch also made a generous donation of £250 which will be put towards the Respite Breaks project to help us fund this year's respite holidays.

This year we collected more Easter eggs, sweets and toys than we ever have before and they've all be sent out to hospitals and hospices in the local area.

Thank you to Laurence at Devon's Olde Sweet Shoppe, the Sainsbury's Depot at Waltham Point, Jenny and Katherine at St Edwards Church Play Group, Just IT, Sue Packham at Wurth UK and Ian at Viola Entertainmental Services.

When Devon's Olde Sweet Shoppe closed back in March, Laurence, the owner didn't want to just sell off his remaining stock, he chose to donate it to put smiles on the faces of children with cancer!

We collected approximately £4,000 worth of sweets like cola cubes, flying saucers, Nerds, nougat, strawberry laces, Refreshers, Chomps, Poppets, cola bottles, rhubarb and custard, bon bons, sherbert lemons, fizzy cherries and candy Love Hearts.

This huge selection took us weeks to sort through but most of them have now been distributed to some local hospitals and hospices, while the rest will be raffled to raise extra funds towards our Respite Breaks project.

Thank you so much to Laurence at DLFM in Romford Shopping Hall for his incredible generosity!
