Fundraising for ellenor
Story
<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Each year in March Redlibbets Golf Club (www.redlibbets.co.uk) installs a new Club Captain. I am fortunate enough to take on this role for 2012 and one of my priviledges is to nominate a Charity to run alongside my year of captaincy.</p>
<p> I am delighted to select EllenorLions Hospices with whom we have had a longstanding relationship having raised money over many years since the Golf Club was formed 15 years ago. The following is an extract from the Charity's website:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;">"The Ellenor Foundation was founded in 1985 by Graham Perolls following the death of his mother and father – Ellen and Norman. The Lions Hospice was built following the receipt in 1983 of an anonymous donation of £200,000 and with additional funds raised by local Lions clubs.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;">After many years of working together the two organisations merged in November 2007.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;">Every week, EllenorLions provides hospice care in the family home for 300 adults and 80 children; and each year 250 people receive in-hospice care.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;">This means that, in the course of a year, we are in contact with over 2500 people".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a vital part of our local community - the main Hospice is located in Coldharbour Road, Northfleet.</p>
<p>The fundraising through Redlibbets Golf Club will be ongoing during 2012 and will involved several focussed events, details of which I will provide in the run up to each event.</p>
<p>This is a very worthwhile cause for which Redlibbets Golf Club is delighted to support.</p>
<p> Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I, on behalf of Redlibbets Golf Club, raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
