London Land Group Raise over £3,000 in Vital Funds for Julia’s House Children’s Hospice

London Land Group, developers of The Water­front have raised an impress­ive £3,156 for Julia’s House Hospice through the success­ful comple­tion of the South Coast Challenge.

Taking place along the breath­tak­ing South Downs coastline, their South Coast Challenge saw four dedicated members of the London Land Group team pushing their physical limits in a 100km walking challenge. Their collect­ive effort has resulted in a substan­tial contri­bu­tion to Julia’s House Hospice, a Dorset-based organ­isa­tion dedicated to providing special­ised care, respite, and emotional support to seriously ill children and their families.

Mario Luca Balducci, CEO of London Land Group, expressed his pride in the team’s achieve­ment, stating, “Our parti­cip­a­tion in the South Coast Challenge exempli­fies our commit­ment to giving back to the communit­ies that support us. We are humbled by the gener­os­ity of those who have supported our efforts and are thrilled to have raised much needed funds for Julia’s House Hospice. This donation will undoubtedly make a meaning­ful differ­ence in the lives of those who rely on their vital services.”

Caroline Attreed, corporate fundraiser at Julia’s House said, “The support of the London Land Group means the world to all of us at Julia’s House.  The amazing team complet­ing their gruelling walking challenge will enable our nurses and carers to continue to be there to help support all of the children and families as they face the toughest of challenges too.  Thank you so much!”

Julia’s House children’s hospice plays a pivotal role in providing a lifeline of care to the most seriously ill children and their families who face unima­gin­able challenges each and every day.  The charity relies on the support of the local community to continue its essential work, with the hospice needing to raise 92% of its fundrais­ing income from the general public and local business and organ­isa­tions.  The funds raised by London Land Group will directly contrib­ute to ensuring that Julia’s House can maintain its critical services for the most vulner­able children and families in our community.
