LINE dancers from Harrowbarrow have recently handed over a donation of £1,000 to Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

The line dancing class meets every Thursday night at the village hall and it is fun for all ages and abilities. Members of the class have raised the money from their class fees and refreshments.

The donation has been made to CHSW, which supports local children with complex medical needs and their families, through its three children’s hospices in the south west, including Little Harbour in St Austell.

Zoe Partridge, community fundraiser for CHSW in the area, collected the donation from the line dancers and said: “On behalf of all of the children and families we support at Little Harbour I would like to thank Harrowbarrow line dancers for their generous annual donation and their ongoing support. It costs around £3-million a year to run Little Harbour so donations like this are vital to us being able to continue our support for families.”

Little Harbour children’s hospice currently supports around 100 life limited children and their families and offers short breaks, respite and palliative care giving families the time to relax in a home from home environment while children have one to one support.

The hospices also offer emergency stays, end of life care and bereavement support.
