Employees in West’s St. Austell, Cornwall, location raised more than £4152.81 for local charity, Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW). The charity is dedicated to providing the best possible hospice care for life-limited children and their families from southwest England.
West employees took part in a sponsored cycling event on exercise bikes at Kingsley Village. Employees could choose to do a 15- or 30-minute cycle ride, which raised funds for CHSW’s Little Harbour. A sanctuary for children with life-limiting conditions and their families, Little Harbour has been open for over a year and offers a home-away-from-home environment while also giving 24-hour care and support to families. The children’s hospice is a place where families can relax and enjoy precious time with each other.
Lee Burford, West employee and participant in the cycling event said, “Everyone involved, from the organizers to the participants gave 100 percent effort and commitment, which was reflected in the generous donations and sponsorships from friends, family and public donations. It was a great event to be involved with and a pleasure to help raise funds for such a worthwhile cause.”
West Corwall has supported Children’s Hospice South West since the start of their Precious Lives Appeal to raise money for the creation of CHSW’s third hospice, Little Harbour in St Austell.
Bernadette Chambers, Corporate Fundraiser for Children’s Hospice South West said, “The amount of money raised by all the participants from West is incredible. Everyone at Little Harbour is so grateful for all donations that were made for the cycling event.”

<span style="color: #151515;">Each year in Denmark, approximately 160 children under the age of 14 are diagnosed with cancer. The diagnosis is life changing in many ways for the child and his or her family. Little things that were once taken for granted, like going to the movies or the zoo, may no longer be possible. Often, families are isolated for long periods of time due to a sick child’s weakened immune system.</span>
West’s team members in Germany have spent the past month on charitable activities as part of the 2013 West without Borders fundraising initiative. Donations inspired volunteers to prepare lunch, snacks and desserts for their colleagues. Other activities included a raffle, various food sales and a flea market at plants in Eschweiler, Stolberg and the European Headquarters at Kiefernweg to help raise money for local children in need. This year’s motto was “Gemeinsam erfüllen wir Herzenswünsche” (Together we make dreams come true).
As part of the annual West without Borders fundraising campaign, West’s Puerto Rico employees chose to support Centro Margarita, Inc., a 33-year-old center that specializes in rehabilitating children with special needs and/or developmental disabilities.
