Shooting Star CHASE is a local children’s hospice service caring for local families with a child or teenager with a life-limiting condition.
It supports families living in west London, Surrey and West Sussex.
Members of staff from Ashtead and North Downs Hospitals recently visited Shooting Star CHASE to present the money they have raised for the charity over the last 18 months.
To raise the money, staff organised several events including a themed hamper raffle, quizzes, a Dutch auction at their Christmas lunch and a ‘Trash or Treasure’ sale at the Christmas party. Together with a Staff Survey contribution the total amount was over £4,000 – a fantastic achievement.
Cathy Davies, a theatre administrator at Ashtead Hospital, was one of the staff that visited Shooting Star CHASE. It was Cathy that had suggested the charity as the hospitals’ 2011 nominated charity.
She said: ‘I nominated the charity when I became aware of the wonderful work they do for children with limited life expectancy.
A friend of mine has a sister who has been helped by the charity and I have been involved in raising money for them in the past so that they can carry on their work and help many other families. I was so pleased and proud to have been part of raising such a large amount of money for CHASE and I know that it will be put to wonderful use. |
