A North Somerset children’s hospice has praised a fundraising group which has raised crucial cash for it ever since it opened 10 years ago.
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.”
