The Happy Days Nursery Group is proud to announce Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) and The National Lobster Hatchery as its Charities of the Year.
Throughout the year, nurseries across the group will take part in fundraising events, awareness days and community activities to support both charities, reflecting Happy Days’ commitment to caring for children, families and the world they grow up in.
Children’s Hospice South West provides vital hospice care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, as well as essential support for their families. Across their three hospices, CHSW offers respite care, emergency and palliative care, and the chance for families to spend quality time together in a warm, welcoming environment.
Happy Days will be supporting CHSW through a wide range of fundraising activities, including sponsored events, community challenges and participation in the Rainbow Run 2026. Funds raised will help provide specialist care and support at a time when families need it most.
Alongside CHSW, Happy Days is also delighted to continue its support of The National Lobster Hatchery, a marine conservation, research and education charity based in Padstow, Cornwall. The Hatchery raises and nurtures baby lobsters, releasing them back into the seas around Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to help protect marine ecosystems and promote sustainability.
The partnership reflects a shared ethos: Happy Days cares for young people, while The National Lobster Hatchery cares for young lobsters — both focused on education, protection and giving the best possible start.
Following the success of previous fundraising initiatives, including Lobster Day and Lobster Week, Happy Days looks forward to continuing to raise awareness of marine conservation and sustainability with children and families throughout the year.
By supporting both charities, Happy Days aims to give children meaningful opportunities to learn about kindness, care, sustainability and the wider world around them.
