273 volunteering hours for ellenor

Giving time is just as valuable as giving money, so we're thrilled that we've racked up 273 hours of volunteering for ellenor, our Charity of the Year.

We held several fundraising events in 2019 and we’re edging closer to our new target of £15,000. Just as importantly, we’ve volunteered in a number of ways, giving the equivalent of £4,095 of our time:

• We lent a hand at ellenor charity shops across Kent, where we steamed, organised and labelled goods, ready for sale;
• Our team helped out at ellenor’s Christmas party and children’s summer party;
• We channelled our creativity by volunteering at craft and sensory music therapy sessions;
• Our Neighbourhoods Response Team gave ellenor’s gardens a facelift and put their tools to good use, repairing the shed, decking and paving.

We’ve enjoyed every minute, and we’re proud to support the vital hospice care and support that ellenor provides for patients and families facing terminal illness.

We’ve lots more planned for our final months of fundraising but take a look at our JustGiving page to see what we’ve raised so far.
