Throughout the pandemic Richard House Children's Hospice in East London has continued to stay open to support the families who rely on the services they provide, as it has done for over 20 years. Back in April, when the impact of the pandemic was still emerging, the hospice had already begun seeing a strain on their stretched resources and we were foreseeing a significant loss of income. Many supported their appeal and gave generously and without that support they would not have made it to Christmas. Richard House has stayed open during the entire COVID-19 pandemic. They have been there to offer families a chance to rest, and a chance to have some form of normality. Holt Energy Advisors has supported Richard House raising almost £8,000 since 2019. But we need to ask for your support again. Almost every fundraising event and activity was cancelled this year the charity is reliant on raising £3.5 million every year to fund their services and this will be a difficult target to meet if they don't raise a minimum of £300,000 by the end of 2020. We are asking for your support this Christmas, so that Richard House can continue to be here providing care and support to the families with a child diagnosed with a life-limiting illness or condition, well into the New Year. We have decided not to run our Christmas Auction this year but ask you to consider buying a raffle ticket or two in our Christmas Prize Draw. Yours Sincerely, The Holt Energy Advisors Team Proud supporters of Richard House Children's Hospice
