Alexander Devine’s Maidenhead Fundraising Group Hits £500,000 in Funds Raised

The Maidenhead Fundraising Group for Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service is celebrating a remarkable milestone, after reaching a collective £500,000 raised for the charity. This is a testament to years of dedication, community spirit and volunteer commitment.

The achievement reflects the tireless efforts of local volunteers who organise and run a wide range of fundraising activities, including the group’s hugely successful pop-up shops, which have become a firm favourite within the Maidenhead community.

Helen Johnson, Lead of the Alexander Devine Maidenhead Fundraising Group and Chair of Trustees, said:

“Reaching £500,000 in funds raised is an incredible milestone for our small but dedicated team of volunteers, and it’s something we are immensely proud of. It truly demonstrates what can be achieved when a group of people comes together in support of such an important cause.

The care and support provided by Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service is extraordinary, and knowing that we are playing even a small part in helping to make that possible reflects the incredible generosity of our community.

We are so proud of everything we have achieved together. Celebrating this milestone at the Hospice with an Afternoon Tea made the occasion even more meaningful and memorable.”

The funds raised directly support Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service in providing specialist care and support to babies, children and young people with life limiting and life threatening conditions, as well as their families, across Berkshire, South Bucks and into surrounding counties.

Debbie Tonkinson, Volunteer Development Manager at Alexander Devine, said:

“Reaching £500,000 in funds raised is a monumental achievement, and we deeply appreciate the immense dedication and many hours contributed by our amazing volunteers.

The success of our pop-up shops is a testament to the extensive behind the scenes effort involved. Additionally, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have generously donated items or visited our shops. Your kindness is making a significant difference in providing vital care and support to local babies, children, young people and their families.”

The Alexander Devine Maidenhead Fundraising Group continues to welcome new volunteers and supporters who would like to contribute to future fundraising initiatives and help build on this incredible success.
