Every year NES support a charity in the local area to dedicate all fundraising activity to. This year is no different and our chosen charity this year is Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice based in Dinnington.

Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice cares for children and young adults with life shortening conditions and complex medical needs. They have hospices across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire and North Lincolnshire. Looking after children and young adults up to the age of 25 years old, the charity provides incredible support services for all family members throughout the child/young adults life journey. It is safe to say that they create extremely special, long lasting memories in their hospices which are full of love and laughter.

This is exactly why Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice holds a very special place in the heart of those at NES.

This year we are giving our all for Bluebell Wood! Therefore our Quality Manager, Danielle Jovanovic, and our Finance Administration Supervisor, Lauren Havenhand, will be tackling the National Three Peaks Challenge!

Never heard of it? The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the highest mountains of Scotland, England and Wales... within 24 hours. These mountains, in their usual order, are Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon; three grueling mountains separated by two long drives. We do not fear though, we know our NES girls, Danielle and Lauren, are made of tougher stuff! Both fitness junkies, they have partaken in a multitude of challenges. The likes of Pretty Muddy, Tough Mudder and Rough Runner are just a handful that have already been defeated (Pretty Muddy was completed whilst Lauren was 7 months pregnant might we add!). These girls are not shy when it comes to a challenge and always want to push themselves further. We know that they will do NES and, more importantly, Blue Wood Children's Hospice extremely proud!

Want to support our NES girls in their challenging adventure - please give anything you can to help support the amazing charity that is Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.
