Anne from Weston-super-Mare thought she had “won a tin of biscuits” when she received a call from our lottery team, but it turned out she had just won £5,600! 🎉

As a retired nurse, Anne has spent her life caring for others. Her connection to CHSW began through a friend whose family were supported by Little Bridge House. 💚

If you’ve ever thought about playing our CHSW Lottery, Anne has one simple message:

"You’re helping families through the hardest times of their lives, and who knows, you might get a phone call like I did."

These 3 incredible Little Harbour mums really hit the fundraising jackpot! 🎲

Ruth, Kerry and Bex held a fabulous Casino Night in Plymouth and raised more than £5,000 for CHSW. 🎰

"It is so wonderful to see 3 of our Little Harbour mums come together and pull off such a polished and amazing event, they really thought of everything. On the night, they all spoke about what the hospice means to them, which was so lovely to hear, and reminds us why we do what we do."💚

It’s not every day you see nurses dressed as a T-Rex and a gorilla, especially as a surprise! But for William, it was more than worth it 🦖🦍

Lisa Cains, from the care team at Charlton Farm, shared:

"Behind the fun is a boy whose strength is greater than any dinosaur. Living with a life-limiting condition, William faces challenges every day with a courage and resilience that inspire everyone who knows him."

"We’ve known William and his family for many years, and it’s been a privilege to witness the love and bravery that carry them through each day. William’s mum, Adele, is now fundraising for CHSW to help ensure that other families like theirs can continue to receive the care, comfort and precious moments that mean so much." 💚

After retiring, Eldey volunteered with the Sibling Support Team at Little Bridge House, while Trevor was on the Board of Trustees for many years. 👏

Phil Morris, CEO of CHSW, was delighted to give Eldey and Trevor a tour to see what has changed over the past 30 years,
"It was a privilege to welcome Eldey, Trevor and their family to come back and visit Little Bridge House. Eldey’s kindness and dedication over the years have touched so many lives, and it was wonderful to see her and Trevor come back to the place that they helped to found 30 years ago." 💚
