Julia’s House is a Wiltshire/Dorset charity and it is not a typical children’s hospice. They provide practical and emotional support for families caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, providing frequent and regular support in their own homes, in the community or at their hospices. Julia’s house currently utilises the upstairs room at our shop Compton McRae – holding monthly nurse and administrative meetings. It allows them to have a central spot between the two counties.

It is also a charity very close to our heart's – Bill's nephew Gussie had severe cerebral palsy, and he required constant care. In Australia, organisations like Julia’s House provided Gussie and his brothers family with amazing support and care.

In November, Caroline and I will be undertaking a charity walk with Julia’s house in Jordan – walking to Petra. The stunning and remote trek will take us on an adventure following an ancient Bedouin migration route to Petra, experiencing some of the most spectacular natural scenery in Jordan. The thought to do the walk came about with Caroline’s 60 walks for 60 years. In her 60th year Caroline is undertaking 60 significant walks and the walk to Petra will be one of the last 10 to complete her year.

We want to thank everyone in advance for their support.
