The star
attraction for Holsworthy Show visitors was meeting ‘Ant & Dec’ at the Haines
Watts stand… Not, however, the famous and popular TV duo, but two pygmy goats
owned by Haines Watts Managing Partner John Edwards.
Show visitors
were encouraged to enter a fun competition to guess the goats’ girth’ for the
chance to win great prizes and raised £306 for Haines Watts designated charity.
The winner of the raffle and the gigantic teddy bear ‘Huggy’ was Graham Yeo of
Belladown Farm in Newton Tracey.
John
Edwards - Managing Partner of Haines Watts North Devon LLP says: “I am
delighted to welcome so many clients and friends to join us in celebrating
winning our fantastic award. Winning Accountancy Firm of The Year means so much
to everyone within Haines Watts because it is voted for by clients. It has also
been great fun having Ant and Dec here at the show, helping to raise funds for
Children’s Hospice South West. I am also thrilled that the triumphant Harpers Home Mix Ltd. tug of war
team have also today, decided to donate their £250 prize to the Hospice.”
Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) Little
Bridge House based in Fremington. Children’s Hospice South West, help and
support children with life-limiting conditions; children that are not expected
to survive into adulthood. Our three hospices, Little Bridge House in North
Devon, Charlton Farm near Bristol and Little Harbour in west Cornwall, provide
respite care and support for those children and their families, who have to
cope with the most difficult of situations. Of these families, some seek
palliative care, some for emergency care and many for planned respite and a
rare opportunity for a break. Others will also be supported through the
bereavement team after the loss of their child. They provide a loving and
caring place for every member of every family who stays with them; a sanctuary
for mums and dads, brothers and sisters. A place where everyone can begin to
forget their worries for a while, be a family again and find expert help and
support in facing an uncertain future.

Fundraiser (Little Bridge House) says: “We are absolutely thrilled to have
the support of Haines Watts North Devon and cannot thank them enough for all
their fundraising at this year’s Holsworthy Show. It is the second year running
that they have supported us, and it means so much to us all. We rely almost
entirely on voluntary donations to keep our hospices running, and it costs just
over £3million a year to run Little Bridge House alone. The support of
companies like Haines Watts makes it possible for us to continue to be there
for life-limited children and their families, when they need us most. Thank
you.”
