Charlton Farm, in Wraxall, was the second of three hospices to built by the charity Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) and is marking its 10th anniversary with a host of celebrations throughout this year.

These include marking some of the group’s most valued donations and fundraising groups.

The Mendip Friends Group raises funds for the charity on a regular basis and was even involved with the Babe Appeal – the campaign which raised the money to build Charlton Farm back in 2007.

Kylie Gallagher, CHSW community fundraiser, said: “The passion and commitment shown to CHSW by the Mendip Friends Group is awe-inspiring.

“They are part of the Charlton Farm family and we are so very grateful for their support over so many years. And long may it continue.”
