Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools raise Money for Children’s Hospice South West with their Travel Challenge!
Nine Happy Days Nurseries across the South West and Wales are taking part in a ‘Travel Challenge’ this International Day of Charity to raise money for Children’s Hospice South West.
Happy Days Nurseries located in Bradley Stoke, Lyde Green, Exeter, Cheswick, Charlton Heights, Droitwich, Swindon, Yate & The Hollies in Cardiff are virtually walking/cycling around all 27 happy Days Nurseries. Colleagues, parents and children will all be taking part to walk/cycle a total of 1,471.4 miles within one week, starting on Thursday 5 September to recognise International Day of Charity.
International Day of Charity aims to raise awareness and give a platform to charity organisations around the world and this year, Happy Days are putting a spotlight on their chosen charity, Children’s Hospice South West.
For more than 30 years Children’s Hospice South West has been caring for children and young people with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions by providing hospice care and professional family support services. The care offered at each of their three hospices is not just about medical and nursing support for sick children and young people but enriching the lives of them and their whole family.
Sam Richardson, Early Years Operations Manager for these nine nurseries stated, “CHSW are a charity close to our hearts and we have been supporting them for several years now. This year, my sites wanted to mark International Day of Charity with a special challenge that everyone could get involved in and the Travel Challenge was set! We are aiming to raise as much money as possible for this worthy cause, whilst having lots of fun along the way!”
