For the Journey

Regular readers to the Blog will remember, (irregular readers can find details in earlier Blogs), of the Rotary Club of Ashburton/Buckfastleigh's Artex - art exhibition, held in August last year at Buckfast Abbey.

Residents of Ashburton and Buckfastleigh will also familiar with the Rotary float that tours the towns at Christmas and spends a day at Mole Valley Farmers.

These events help Rotary to raise funds for a number of charities, and yesterday the Club visited one of three Hospices run by Children's Hospice South West - at Little Harbour St. Austell to present a cheque for £3000.00.

Suffice to say it was a real privilege to be shown around Little Harbour and meet those involved, and share their dream, of a Hospice within 90 minutes of any destination within the SouthWest. One fact that is very pertinent to fund raising, is that it is estimated to cost between £7.2m and £7.3m to run all three Hospices this coming year.
