Early 2016 has been full of generous donations, opportunities to offer holidays to families desperately in need of a break and, of course, planning for our 2016 challenges. You can see what we’ve got planned so far by taking a look at our “At a glance diary” at the bottom of this newsletter. Please, if you can, sign up for and spread the word about these fun-filled events that will help us to continue offering families living with serious illness and bereavement, memory-making holidays.

Hotel fundraisers
A massive thank you to our friends at the Torbay Hotel in Torquay who raised funds for THHN in 2015 through raffles, race days and other fundraisers for their guests. Torbay Hotel’s Simon Murray and Gary Price came to the THHN Memory Makers Charity Shop to present a cheque for an amazing £1,600. Even more amazingly, they have announced that we will again be their nominated charity for 2016.

Card trick #1
We are hugely grateful to Teignmouth Trotters for their generous donation of £520, along with a donation from their committee [is this correct? If so, how much.

Card trick #2
