BARTERCARD DORSET :: Testimonial

Gavin Fisher - The Dorset Children's Hospice — Julias House

"My apologies, I have written to thank everyone else for donating their Trade Pounds, but not to Bartercard Dorset, so thank you so much, not just for your donation but for organising everyone else's too.

Thanks to the generosity of members of Bartercard Dorset we have raised enough trade pounds to purchase various items for our garden appeal as well as various items for fundraising events, such as prizes. As you know, we have recently opened our children's hospice at Corfe Mullen, which is the only one in Dorset and we are keen to complete the work on the back garden in time for the children to enjoy the lovely sumemr weather outside.

As well as the hospice, we have around 50 nurses and carers travelling the country, caring for life-limited and life-threatened children in their own homes. Clearly this work costs a great deal and without government funding we are wholly reliant on the local community. Consequently, the goods and services that we are able to buy through Bartercard make a big difference to our ability to care for these children, so thank you very much for your significant part in this.

With thanks again and best wishes"
