HELP US MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE!
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The team at Cullen Wealth are committed to continuing our support of our adopted charity, northwest based Children’s Hospice, Francis House.
Francis House is a fantastic organisation, predominantly funded by private and charitable donations, that provides care and support for children with a shortened life expectancy and their families. For further information click here.
Up to the end of 2013, Francis House cared for 220 children and their families, with the children suffering from a range of illnesses requiring palliative care. To simply keep their doors open was costing £9,500 per day.
An expansion to the hospice in early 2014 has added an additional 7 bedrooms, effectively doubling the amount of care available. This extension cost in the region of £3.5 million, and has increased running costs to around £4.6m per annum.
So far we have raised £15,000 through various activites such as dress down Fridays where most staff pay a £1 to come into work in their own clothes, tuck shop and client referrals.
At Cullen Wealth we have committed to funding at least one more day for this amazing charity this year, and we would like to offer you the opportunity to help us achieve and exceed this target. For every referral we receive, we donate £50 to Francis House, which helps toward the annual running cost of caring for children and young adults with short life expectancy.
Indeed, you don’t have to send us a referral to support this fantastic cause – you can simply make your pledge here and help us reach and exceed our target.
We hope you will be able to support us in our ambitions.
