Michael Crawford boosts The Big Move campaign
Michael Crawford OBE, visited Eckersley House, The Sick Children’s Trust ‘Home from Home’ based in Leeds on Tuesday 28th July to boost The Big Move campaign which aims to raise £1.8million to move Eckersley House from its current location at St James’s Hospital to the Leeds General Infirmary.
Raise the Roof!
We've done it!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Raise the Roof appeal to extend Crawford House, our ‘Home from Home’ at The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. Thanks to you, we’ve raised the £470,000 needed and all the construction, painting and making beds is complete!!
Largest legacy recieved
The Sick Children's Trust has been very fortunate to have received more than £65,000 from legacies (a gift to charity in a Will) so far in 2008. Two very kind individuals left generous donations to our Homes from Home and between them will help us provide at least 2,600 nights of accommodation (enough to keep one of our rooms open for 7 years!)
The difference a gift in your Will can make to the work of The Sick Children's Trust is huge. So, we are asking everyone who cares about our charity to consider remembering our 'Homes from Home' in their Will after they have provided for their family and friends. If you need to make a Will or to change your existing one contact your solicitor who will advise you on how to go about this. Remember that whatever you are able to give will help us accommodate families in desperate need of your help –
it could be the most valuable gift you ever give.
If you’d like more information on how to leave a legacy or to let us know that you are remembering The Sick Children's Trust in your Will, please call Andy on 020 7791 2266.
