Julia’s House children’s hospice is set to host a VIP reception this year during the Bournemouth Air Festival for its supporters, after a donation from Dorset family-run manufacturer, Superior.
Superior has had a longstanding partnership with the charity and has raised more than £200,000 since the affiliation began. Superior’s Managing Director, Tim Brown, became an ambassador for Julia’s House in June 2020.
Superior has supported Julia’s House children’s hospices since 2008 and its latest commitment sees the company donate a significant sum to enable Julia’s House to host an evening reception at the festival on Thursday, 2 September.
Martin Edwards, Chief Executive of Julia’s House, says: "Our evening reception at this year’s Bournemouth Air Festival will provide us with the chance to thank those who have continued to fundraise and donate to our cause throughout the pandemic. We are extremely grateful to the team at Superior in helping to make a positive difference to the families we support."
Tim Brown MBE, Managing Director of Superior, adds: "Every £50 raised helps Julia’s House provide a session of specialist sensory activity for a child who finds communication challenging, and every £100 can provide expert and compassionate support via video from a nurse for a lonely and isolated family."
