TJ Nominated Charity

Thompson Jenner is delighted to have chosen the Children's Hospice South West as its nominated charity for 2012. This truly deserving charity is funded almost entirely by voluntary donations. 

Children's Hospice South West helps and supports children and their families who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions which mean that sadly they will not reach adulthood. They are the only organisation in the South West to provide vital hospice care to these families. They offer palliative care, emergency care, planned respite and end of life care. But there's more to it than that. They provide a loving and caring place for every member of the family, mums, dads, grandparents and well siblings. A place where everyone can begin to forget their worries for a while, be a family again and find expert help and support in facing an uncertain future.

The services are free to the families and they rely on the generosity of supporters to deliver their promise to 'make the most of short and precious lives'. To find out more please visit www.chsw.org.uk  or call 01271 325270

Fund raising news

Christmas card donation

We are delighted to announce that the firm and staff have been able to make a donation to the Children's Hospice South West (CHSW) as a result of not sending paper Christmas cards this Christmas. Iinstead of sending traditional paper Christmas cards through the post to clients and business contacts the firm sent e-cards, a more environmentally friendly alternative, and let everyone know that the money saved would be donated to our chosen charity.

The partners and staff can't think of a better cause than helping to support the fantastic work undertaken by the charity across the South West. He went on to say " We are all looking forward to working with the CHSW team and being involved with other fund raising events throughout the year .
