London Land Group team embark on the South Coast Challenge, raising vital funds for Julia’s House Hospice

London Land Group is proud to announce its support for Julia’s House Hospice by parti­cip­at­ing in the upcoming South Coast Challenge. The endeavour will see four members of the London Land Group team push their limits in a 100km challenge to raise crucial funds for Julia’s House, a Dorset hospice dedicated to support­ing seriously ill children and their families.

The South Coast Challenge, will take place along the stunning South Downs coastline on 2nd and 3rd September. Team members from London Land Group have embraced this challenge as an oppor­tun­ity to make a meaning­ful impact on the lives of those who rely on Julia’s House Hospice for care and support.

The CEO of London Land Group, Mario Luca Balducci said, “At London Land Group, we under­stand the import­ance of giving back to the communit­ies that support us. The South Coast Challenge is a chance for our team to come together, challenge themselves, and contrib­ute to an incred­ibly deserving cause. We are committed to raising funds that will directly assist Julia’s House Hospice in continu­ing their excep­tional work.”

Julia’s House Hospice provides a lifeline to families facing unima­gin­able challenges, offering special­ized care, respite, and emotional support. With Julia’s House having to raise 93% of the money it needs each year to run this vital service, the funds raised through London Land Group’s parti­cip­a­tion in the South Coast Challenge will play a signi­fic­ant role in ensuring that Julia’s House can continue to provide essential services to those in need.

The team’s parti­cip­a­tion in the South Coast Challenge is not only a testament to their dedic­a­tion to charit­able causes but also a demon­stra­tion of London Land Group’s core values of community engage­ment and social respons­ib­il­ity.

For those who wish to support London Land Group’s efforts and contrib­ute to the mission of Julia’s House Hospice, donations can be made through https://www.justgiving.com/team/londonlandgroup.
