The goody bag that MyWorkwear produced for Hope House’s Midsummer Walk campaign


miles is the equivalent of a journey from Conwy Castle in North Wales to the Hope House offices in Oswestry, Shropshire. Hope House Children’s Hospices make sure that no one faces the death of their child alone. The hospices support more than 750 local families who are either caring for a terminally ill child, or whose child has died. It costs £6.5 million every year to run the


services but only 12-15% comes from statutory sources so fundraising is key for the charity to reach every child, mum, dad, brother and sister who needs their help. James Worthington, managing director of MyWorkwear, said: “We were approached by Hope House who was looking for a business to help them with the event. Obviously, we were more than happy to add our support and have produced goody bags for all those who are raising money for this fabulous charity.” Bekki Fardoe, assistant area fundraiser for Hope House, added: “This year has been hard for many charities but it’s important for us to continue to fundraise so we can help all those in need. We are thrilled to have had the support of MyWorkwear this year and I am sure our fundraisers are going to love their Midsummer Walk bags.”

KFC’s campaign is a great initiative to reduce litter and help Keep Britain Tidy reach their million-mile target.”
