What a week!

We’ve loved sharing the highlights from our fundraising challenge – from ziplining to giant swings and tobogganing, it’s been full of laughs, bravery, and a few wobbly legs 😅

We’re so proud of the team and so grateful for all the support so far. 💙

There’s still time to help us finish strong and support Queenscourt Hospice - if you can donate or share, it would mean the world 👉 https://alcedocare.info/4m5U6Ms

Still buzzing from this! 💙

Our team took on the zipline AND pushed themselves even further with a giant swing 😳🎢… all in support of the incredible Queenscourt Hospice

There were a few nerves (and some screaming!) at the top, but plenty of laughter and team spirit too. We couldn’t be prouder of everyone who took part!

We’ll be sharing more highlights this week – and if you’re able to support, there’s still time to donate. Every contribution makes a real difference. Thank you x 👉: https://alcedocare.info/4m5U6Ms
