Previously, I have done some charity work for CHSW (Children’s Hospice South West). I started raising money for them when they were trying to build their second hospice in Wraxall, Bristol. From Year 6 – Year 9, I had raised over 3 ½ thousand pounds for them. This has come from a sponsored swim, a sponsored walk, a school and a Christmas fayre and some collections outside supermarkets. I also introduced the charity to my school, who then had a 24-hour squashathon which raised over 10 thousand pounds. This would be where children from my area would go if they had life-limiting illnesses. Today, my mum and I did a collection outside White Row farm shop to try and raise more for them. We stood outside the shop for about six hours, then signed out and went home. When we counted the money later, we found out that we had collected over 2 hundred pounds for CHSW!
