Birds on Bikes, a team of 14 individuals who are raising money for Children’s Hospice South West, have recently received a piece of art created by local artist, Faith Chevannes.

Faith Chevannes, a print maker from Launceston, donated the piece named ‘Place Your Bets’ to be one of the prizes in the grand raffle. The art is a drypoint etching and mixed media created on playing cards.

The team have made a huge effort to raise money for Children’s Hospice South West, and have been training hard for their final fundraiser, the Ride for Precious Lives event, a 205-mile, three-day sponsored cycle ride. So far, the team have raised £2385 of their £14,000 total though various fundraising events and donations.

There will be various events leading up to the final fundraiser in July, including Easter Bingo (March 26), Coffee and Cake morning (April 9), Open Garden and cream tea (May 15) and the Grand fundraising draw (June 24).
