Another success for Dove House...


Positive feedback received from the Dove House Walk!


Just a quick email to say thank you very much to you all for helping making the Sponsored Walk on Sunday a success. From everyone at Raynet, Jean on registration to Pete and his quick thinking ‘cow manoeuvering‘ procedure and all the volunteers that manned each checkpoint, crossing point and each walk’s sweepers you all did an amazing job to make the walk a very enjoyable day!

The feedback from walkers was very positive and I am sure the sun shining helped this too! Walker number were unfortunately down this year, however the family walk attracted a fair bit of interest and we will have to review the date, location etc for next to year to make sure we improve year upon year! All said, there were around 120 walkers and 20 families that participated and we are set to raise £10,000. Fortunately we are very kindly supported by Sargent Electricals who cover the costs incurred to stage this event therefore the profits raised are contributed direct to the hospice!

I will keep you all informed of the final figure from this event and thank you again for all your hard work I couldn’t do any of it without you! Please can you pass my thanks on to all volunteers who helped as I don’t have contacts for all.

Thank you again and hopefully we will see some of you at the midnight walk in August!
