Read our previous features on the Precious Lives Appeal:
At present families caring for sick children can only receive respite, palliative and terminal care at Little Bridge House in North Devon, which is the only hospice for children in the region. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ staff are throwing themselves behind the Appeal as part of the station’s 25th birthday celebrations with fundraising antics including a coastal bike ride.Μύ This isn’t the first time Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Cornwall has put its weight behind a Cornish campaign; in 2001 the station raised Β£600,000 towards the Sunrise Appeal. The Royal Mail sorting office in Truro has been extremely helpful in making it possible for Β£1 coins to be sent without ruining their machines.ΜύTheir involvement in this exciting appeal is welcomed. "We have learnt lessons since the last time, little did we know how generous young and old would be.ΜύWe are hoping this will be the same and that we’ll get the Precious Lives Appeal off to a great start," said Daphne Skinnard.
