Every year TEP adopts a charity to support, which is carefully selected by our staff. However this year has been a little different. Following the loss of a staff member’s child and saddened by this unimaginable tragedy, our staff wanted to offer their help and support in any way they could. In recognition of the comfort they have offered to this member of staff and to support their ongoing work for other families, the Directors and CSR Team chose to name Claire House Children’s Hospice as TEP’s Charity of the Year 2020.

Claire House Children’s Hospice helps seriously and terminally ill children live life to the full, creating wonderful memories and bringing back a sense of normality to family life. Through specialist nursing and emotional support, Claire House helps families smile when life couldn’t get any tougher.

“The teams (at Claire House) …from the care team, nurses, kitchen and housekeeping are all exceptional and we really have no way of saying thank you for everything they have done but we hope that you can help show our appreciation by making a donation to Claire House to allow them to continue to provide support to families such as ours, making what is such a difficult and heart-breaking time just that little bit easier”

Being under lockdown may have stumped us at first but we soon had our first fundraising opportunity set up - please see updates below for further details.
