Corporate Fundraiser for Julia’s House, Jo Common said: “At Julia’s House, we look after the most seriously ill children in Swindon and Wiltshire. Our dedicated team of nurses and carers are a lifeline, providing essential respite breaks to give exhausted families relief from round-the-clock care, helping to prevent them from reaching breaking point. We rely on the community for 92% of our funding, so it is thanks to organisations like The Hills Group and this wonderful donation, that we can continue to provide this vital care.”
Collecting the donation on behalf of Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service, Kate Rowland, Training and Business Development Manager said: “Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service were delighted to learn that we were one of the recipients of a donation from The Hills Group. Demand for our services sadly remains high, particularly over the Christmas period and every donation supports our work with victims of domestic abuse
and their children.”
The Hills group is well known for its philanthropic work, having raised thousands of pounds for many charities throughout 2023.
Mike Hill, Chief Executive, The Hills Group said: “We pride ourselves on the support we give to a wide range of charities every year. We hope that these donations help Threshold Housing Link, Julia’s House, and Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service to continue the amazing services they all provide.”
