In the summer a couple of mums and a member of staff took part in a triathlon to raise funds for Honeylands Children's Charity. The charity provides services including Music Therapy and a Toy Library for the children who attend the centre and who have special needs including life limiting conditions, autism and development needs.
Shortly after completing the triathlon Honeylands was very fortunate to receive an "out of the blue" visit by Sir Richard Branson when he was visiting the South West. He was impressed with the services provided at Honeylands, by the charity, the facilities available and staff's professionalism. On hearing about the triathlon event and the enthusiasm of the participants Sir Richard offered to match fund the monies raised by these wonderful people for our Charity.
Today we were visited by Virgin Care staff at the centre and received his cheque for £4944.00.
What a fantastic result, unbelievable achievement by the mum's and staff and a super gesture by Sir Richard Branson and his team.
A big thank you to all who took part, who helped, who donated and to Sir Richard for his contribution.
