Andrew Pine & Richard Cummings from the Chelmsford branch of MKM Building Supplies, the UK’s largest independent building merchant, has chosen Little Havens as the company’s Charity of the Year and has started the ball rolling with a concrete fundraising idea. Andrew and his business partner Richard Cummings will be mixing it up and asking customers to enter a competition to guess how many stones there are inside a cement mixer.
Andrew said, “I am delighted to support Little Havens. This year we will host numerous fundraising events in aid of the charity which cares for seriously ill children throughout Essex. We hope to raise much needed funds and build great awareness of the care the hospice provides to these children and their families.”
Little Havens Community Fundraising Manager Grant Peters met Andrew and Richard at MKM to help launch their ‘All Mixed Up’ on Wednesday 23rd November. He thanked them by saying, “This is a fantastic way to launch MKM’s Charity of the Year commitment to Little Havens. The care we provide is free of charge and we rely heavily on kind donations to ensure we can continue caring. The support MKM has offered us over the next year will make a big difference to the children and families we look after.”
Little Havens provides specialist respite breaks, symptom control and end-of-life care for children and teenagers with life-limiting conditions. It aims to make their journey, and that of the family as comfortable as possible creating special memories along the way.
