A premier set in the South West with over 80 members including seven Queens Counsel, chambers hosted a new Family Justice System Conference in Bristol with all profit donated to the Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home Charity.
Christopher Sharp QC, Head of Family
Practice Group, St John’s Chambers said: “The conference was very successful and
we were delighted to raise monies for this worthy charity. St John’s is proud to be able to assist the
essential work that Jessie May are doing in the local community to support families
during the hardest times.”
The
monies raised by Chambers will be spent on respite visits for the charity’s
families. This is delivered with support
by Nurses such as Gillian Alexander and will cover the expenses to support one
of the charity’s families for a whole month.
Julian Withers, Head of Fundraising
Jessie May said: “We are so grateful to St Johns Chambers for this
wonderful donation of £1500. The pressures on families caring for terminally
ill children are greater than ever and the number of children being cared for
by Jessie May Nurses is at a record high which makes this donation all the more
value to us. On behalf of our Nurses and our children and families we offer our
sincerest thanks and the money will be put to the very best use.”
