Welcome to our Fundraising page! We have always been enthusiastic about fundraising at SELT and find it a great opportunity to raise money for an important cause whilst having fun as a team at the same time.
Whilst supporting a number of charities SELT has chosen to focus on Demelza House, a local Charity based in Sittingbourne. Demelza House provides hospice care for over 600 children with life-limiting illnesses and their families across East Sussex, Kent and South East London. Demelza is Kent based in Sittingbourne is an 8-bedded hospice providing respite, symptom control, end-of-life care and bereavement support. Over 300 life-limited children and their families benefit from a wide range of facilities that Demelza currently provides.
We have already raised money for Demelza holding various initiatives such as cake sales, dress down days, the fundraising evening 'A night with Frank Clare', SELT prize draw competition, Easter egg hunt and many more.

Children’s Hospice South West - 'Making the most of short and precious lives across the South West.'
The team at our Taunton office have recently made links with Children's Hospice South West.
Children's Hospice South West care for children who have illnesses which mean they will die before reaching adulthood. They provide expert care for them, their parents and well siblings.
Children's Hospice South West was founded in 1991 by Eddie and Jill Farwell after they experienced for themselves the urgent need for hospice care for children in the South West. Their two eldest children, Katie and Tom, had life-limiting illnesses and they had to travel over four hours, from their home in North Devon to Helen House in Oxford, then the country's only children's hospice.
In 1995 Little Bridge House, the South West’s first children’s hospice opened its doors to families from across the South West. Little Bridge House very quickly became oversubscribed, which led to the opening of the charity’s second hospice Charlton Farm located just outside Bristol, in 2007.
Details of fundraising events and SELT’s work with the Children’s Hospice South West will be profiled here. For more information about the Children’s Hospice South West visit www.chsw.org.uk.
