Awdry Law’s golf day funds doubled during ‘BigGive’ Campaign

Funds raised at a golf day organised by Awdry Law for Julia’s House Children’s Hospice have been doubled during the charity’s ‘BigGive’ Campaign.

This brings the total raised to by the September event to £19,550, which will support children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest match-funded campaign, giving you the opportunity to double your donation to Julia’s House this Christmas.

The match funding has been donated thanks to a mix of special Big Give funders and supporters.

Tim Hotchkiss, the partner at Awdry Law who oversaw the organisation of the event, said: “All of us at Awdry Law are delighted that the majority of the funds we raised for Julia’s House have been successfully doubled as part of their ‘BigGive’ campaign.

“This has significantly amplified the’ generous donations made on the day and thanks to this initiative we have been able to help more individuals and families in need.

“We are so thankful to all of the 88 golfers and sponsors from various businesses across Wiltshire and beyond who participated in the day. The final total raised has exceeded all expectations and we are absolutely delighted.”

Jo Common, business development manager at Julia’s House, said: “This is utterly incredible and wonderfully represents the commitment and love the Awdry Law team put into fundraising for Julia’s House.

“Thank you to everyone who helped raise this amazing total for our children and families.”

Awdry Law, which has offices in Chippenham, Devizes, Marlborough, Royal Wootton Bassett and Swindon, regularly supports Julia’s House, with the most recent challenge being a 100km walk in which a team of their employees took part last summer.
