As the first working week of 2026 wraps up, we thought we’d share a little motivation...

During Sibling Worker Karen’s last visit of 2025 with Daniel, he made this brilliant Happy New Year sign and later, while playing a challenging game, dropped this wisdom:

“If you think you can give up, you’re wrong, keep trying!”

Pretty great advice to kick off 2026, don’t you think?

Happy New Year from Karen & Daniel 🎉

A huge thank you to our Young Fundraisers, Chloe and Emily, who raised an incredible £310.00 hosting their Christmas Sale.

They made bracelets, earrings and sold lots of pre-loved clothes and books. Here they are at their fundraising sale with Julia’s House CEO Martin Edwards who took the opportunity to meet the young fundraisers whilst presenting their Mum, Luci Lloyd of Jane James Associates, and their fantastic team of abseilers, with a certificate for taking part in Martin’s amazing 20/20 challenge.

Find out more about our Young Fundraisers Club on our website https://www.juliashouse.org/young-fundraisers. Also if you want to see more fundraising highlights from this week visit our 'Thank You' page on our website https://www.juliashouse.org/news/thank-you-6!

While building works continue at our Dorset hospice, our community respite sessions are going strong.

We’ve been lucky to use a local Scouts hall for regular group sessions — and as it turns out, it’s right near a Costa… so a little treat was a must! Ella especially enjoyed her chocolate cake 🩷

Brrrr!

We hope you all enjoyed the Christmas period, and are keeping warm as we start 2026. Who's had snow? Our Wiltshire hospice garden is looking lovely with a light dusting!

From skydiving to tractor pulling 🚜
From zip-lining to abseiling 🧗
From ultra-marathons to all-day triathlons 🏃‍♂️
Oh, and he even got his first tattoo 😲

To celebrate 20 years at Julia’s House, our CEO Martin Edwards set himself a slightly ambitious task: asking 20 people to take on a fundraising challenge… and then joining in on every single one to raise £100,000.

Since June, Martin has put his body (and sanity) to the test, learnt new skills, made new friends, and pushed himself further than ever before, all for Julia’s House. And as the year comes to an end, he has completed his final challenge - 20 days of early morning sea dips.

Thanks to the incredible individuals, companies, patrons and volunteers who joined him along the way, Martin didn’t just hit his target…he smashed it, raising OVER £100,000 for Julia’s House!

Congratulations Martin, we think that’s more than earned you a well-deserved rest this Christmas. Same again in another 20 years? 😉

When Skye met Santa 🎅

A truly magical moment for Skye, the star of our Christmas Appeal, as she met Santa at our Dorset Santa’s Grotto. Joined by her brothers, Seth and Axel, and their parents, the day was filled with crafts, games, festive food and lots of fun, and they all went home with armfuls of goodies and big smiles.

Continuing the countdown to Christmas, our parents in both counties recently enjoyed a delicious sit-down Christmas meal.

We were kindly hosted by The Chequers Inn Poole, and The Kings Arms All Cannings, both their generosity and hospitality making the evenings so special.

For a little while, parents could step away from the daily pressures and just be together, sharing stories, laughter and mutual support in a safe, welcoming space. Moments like these create comfort, connection and community during what can be an incredibly challenging time.
