A few weeks ago, we opened our doors for the Active Health Clinics Charity Day, raising money for Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice, a local charity providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care to children and young people with life-limiting conditions across Berkshire and beyond.
We’re thrilled to announce that together we raised a total of £2,144.30
We’re thrilled to announce that together we raised a total of £2,144.30, every penny of which goes directly to Alexander Devine. It’s a result we’re incredibly proud of, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our brilliant practitioners who gave up their time for free, everyone who came through the door and donated so generously, and the local businesses who contributed such fantastic prizes.
Speaking of which, we wanted to take a moment to shout out every one of them.
