Dewey Waters Participate in the 2016 Rainbow Run for the Children’s Hospice in the South West

Dewey Waters employees took part in Bristol’s Rainbow Run which took place on Saturday the 18th of June, the Rainbow Run is the most colourful charity event taking place all around the UK.
Sponsors can walk, jog or run your way through the 5k colour explosions to raise money for the Children’s Hospice in the South West.

At the beginning of the year, all the staff at Dewey’s voted for a nominated charity, to support and raise funds throughout 2016. As a team, it was decided upon to raise money for a local charity the Children’s Hospice South West, this dedicated charity provides hospice care for children with life-limited conditions, the charity offers a wide range of care, including respite, short breaks, emergency care, palliative care and end of life care.

The company held a donation week earlier in the year and the first big charity event we took part in was the 5K Rainbow Colour Run.The staff has been collecting donations from the office, factory, family and friends in addition to setting up a Virgin Money Giving site to welcome further donations for this worthwhile cause.

On Saturday 18th June Dewey Water’s enthusiastic fundraising team took part in this charity colour run to raise money for the hospice. The charity donations will be used for hospice care for children with life-limiting conditions and help in assisting their whole family across the South West region.

We are extremely proud to support this fantastic charity and the continuous work that they do, sponsors are now fully collected and the total raised by the team was a total of £618.45. Well done and congratulations to all involved.
