#ROCKTHEBLUE! 19th – 25th June 2023

IT’S BACK!

After all the BLUEming fun we had in 2022, we are excited to tell you that #ROCKTHEBLUE is back again as we celebrate Children’s Hospice Week 2023.

Children’s hospice week (19th to 25th June 2023) is a dedicated awareness and fundraising week for all 54 children’s hospices across the UK and this year Alexander Devine will once again mark the occasion with our special campaign #ROCKTHEBLUE

From dress up days and danceathons, to blue bake sales, raffles and even a blue ping pong tournament,  we had such a blast in 2022 and we could not have done it without all our amazing local businesses, schools and supporters.

The need and cost of our service has never been greater – We currently support over 150 children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families, across Berkshire and into surrounding counties. But we must keep growing our team in order to meet the huge demand for our service and cope with the increasingly complex caseload of babies, children and young people that need our support.

Why blue?

Blue was 8 year old Alexander Devine’s favourite colour and along with his favourite animal, the dolphin, it forms part of our logo; a reminder of how this very special boy inspired our charity and without whom we would not be here today providing specialist care and support to so many children and families.

So in Alexander’s honour we’re encouraging everyone to join the fun and #ROCKTHEBLUE with your most imaginative blue-themed challenge!
