| (15 - 22 May 2010) Children’s Hospice Week is one of the best times to celebrate the importance of the work done by children’s hospices in the UK and a wonderful time to fundraise for the children’s service at Keech Hospice Care. This year, we’re joining the national campaign to celebrate the week hero style! The theme of ‘heroes’ not only provides some great opportunities for fundraising, but also helps to give some recognition for all the heroes that help to care for life-limited children locally – their parents, nurses, carers, therapists, doctors and more. One of the highlights of the week is an exciting exhibition in London, called ‘This is my hero’. This will feature the artwork of children who use hospice services across the country (including two children from Keech) as well as hero masks exclusively designed by celebrities. Visit the ‘This is my hero’ website to look through the artworks, read the stories behind them, and find out how you can bid for your favourite piece. Meanwhile take a look at some of the ways you can be a local fundraising hero for Keech. |
