Julias' House Children's Hospice
As you can imagine, we end up with a lot of off-cuts of Timber! We have been giving this away to friends and family who need firewood. We had an idea that we could use this as an opportunity to help a wonderful local charity. From February 2022 we have started 'selling' the wood in exchange for a minimum donation of £5. We are hoping it will be a success!
Julia's House has 2 children's hospices, one in Dorset and one in Wiltshire. Started in 2003, they only receive 3% government funding. The rest of the costs are made up purely from donations. To find out more: www.juliashouse.org / Our Story | Julia's House (juliashouse.org)
