Thank you to everyone that joined us at Plym Valley Railway for Santas on the Run, our first time bringing this much loved event to Plymouth. 💚 There were festive themed stations along the route which included a Selfie with the Elf, Snow and Treat stations, generously sponsored by local businesses Azets Accountants, Collins Aerospace and AtkinsRéalis who were our headline sponsors of the event. 🌟 The event has raised an amazing £16,000 and counting and that is all thanks to those who took part. ❤️ From all of us at CHSW, we hope you had a fantastic day and kicked off your Christmas in style! 🎅
Children's Hospice South West
Hospitals and Health Care
Providing hospice care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions.
About us
Children’s Hospice South West cares for families with children and young people who have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, who are unlikely to live to adulthood. At our three beautiful children’s hospices in Devon, Cornwall and Bristol, we support parents, brothers and sisters and the affected child from diagnosis towards bereavement and beyond. We can relieve the burden of caring for a sick child from families and allow them to spend precious time together focusing on just being a family. To face the reality of losing your child means those who desperately need our help face an uncertain and fragile future. We walk alongside them providing respite care, palliative and ultimately end of life care for their child. We need to raise just under £12 million a year to run our three hospices. The money that we receive from the Government is not guaranteed each year, therefore we need to rely entirely on voluntary contributions to safeguard our service into the future. Registered Charity No 1003314
