John Edwards, Managing Partner
Haines Watts North Devon LLP says: “I
am absolutely delighted with how well attended this event was and raising so
much money for a very worthy local cause.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking local businesses who
kindly donated charity prizes and Roger Young Jaguar Land Rover for acting as
hosts. The precious gems and new range
of Tudor Rolex watches showcased by Michael Spiers all added to the glitter of
the evening. I was particularly
impressed with the staging and lighting by David Warwick of Warwick Corporate
Events who very kindly waived his fee and all costs asking that this be donated
direct to the charity.”
Children’s Hospice South West have three hospices including ‘Little
Harbour’ which opened its doors to its first families in December
2011 and is most conveniently situated for families who live in Cornwall,
Plymouth and parts of South Devon.
The Cornish hospice is set in a spectacular coastal location overlooking
St. Austell Bay with beautiful views out to sea. Designed and built with a view
to celebrating Cornish building traditions and its close proximity to the sea,
Little Harbour has the feel of a ‘holiday home’ in a relaxed seaside setting.
Alana Marie Smith, Director of Fundraising,
CHSW adds: “We were absolutely delighted to be the chosen
charity of Haines Watts North Devon for this fantastic celebratory event, as we
rely almost entirely on voluntary
donations to run our three hospices. It’s the generous support given by local
communities and corporations that allows us to give the respite, emergency and
bereavement care that is so appreciated by each and every family we
support. Haines Watts kindly also raised monies for us at this year’s Holsworthy
& Stratton Showa and we can’t thank John Edwards and his wonderful team enough
for all they do in supporting the charity, which helps us to make the time that
the children have with their families so treasured.”
