PAGE 20 PAGE 25 Launceston Friends of Children‟s Hospice South West would like to thank you all so much for your generous support of the Precious Lives Appeal. The response from the local community has been extraordinary and we dearly value the sup- port and dedication of members of clubs, groups, businesses and individuals in this area. You have all been an important part of our journey in creating a children‟s hospice for this part of the region, and we would like to offer everyone the opportunity to seeing round the building, so you can see what you have helped us realise. Members of the team would be delighted to show you around Little Harbour from 10 to 4 each Wednesday, Thursday and Friday throughout October and November. Tours will last about an hour and refreshments will be available afterwards. Launceston Friends have booked a tour on Thursday 20th October, and a Red Bus to take you to there, and will arrange other visits as necessary. To book a seat on the bus, ring 01566 774902 - [email protected] or to arrange your own visit, ring 01726 871800 – [email protected] As the appeal draws to a close we turn our attention to fitting out Little Harbour with a view to open to families and children early in December. While we celebrate the end of the Precious Lives Appeal, this is where the real work begins. Care never stops in a hospice, and our fund raising can never stop, as we now help to raise the £1 million a year required to support the children and their families who need Little Harbour” We hope you will continue to be with us on the next stage of our journey.
