Whittam Cox Architects reach over £50,000 raised for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice
Whittam Cox Architects are delighted to announce they have reached a significant milestone, having raised over £50,000 for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.
The practice, who have supported the charity for the past 6 years, have taken part in various fundraising initiatives from Skydives, Bluebell Wood’s ‘Bag it up’, 10k road races and bake off events to raise money for the organisation, who offer care and support to children with a shortened life expectancy, both in their own homes and in the hospice in North Anston.
Most recently, employees from the practice have taken part in the 2.6 challenge which involved participating in a range of activities based around 2.6 or 26. For this campaign they raised £850 which will be split between Bluebell Wood and their other partner charity, Ashgate Hospicecare.
Jon Godwin, Director, who heads up CSR initiatives at the practice, said, “We’re really proud to have supported Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice for the last 6 years. The work they do for families in the region is absolutely invaluable.”
“Charities will undoubtedly be struggling for funds at this time, so I’m pleased the team have been able pull together in the circumstances in order to do our bit to raise crucial funds for these two fantastic local charities.”
Sam Wood, Head of Fundraising at Bluebell Wood, added: “Whittam Cox Architects have been fantastic supporters over the years and we’re consistently taken aback by their generosity.”
“A huge thank you to all at the practice and to everyone who has supported their amazing fundraising for all your support – it really does make a huge difference to local children and families who are going through the most difficult of times.”
The practice will continue to raise funds for both charities throughout 2020.
