Charities for 2024
Every penny of the total sum contributed by members of the public this year will, as usual, be shared between several local charities chosen by the Rotary presidents of Ironbridge, Telford Centre, The Wrekin and Wellington. The Trustees are pleased to announce that as in previous years:
Severn Hospice will be supported with half of the amount donated by the public
For over 30 years Severn Hospice has been the region’s leading provider of specialist palliative and end of life care. As one of the busiest hospices in the UK our mission is to provide the best care and a better life for people living with an incurable illness, and those important to them. The loving care we provide goes beyond the four walls of our buildings as we care for more patients than ever before in the comfort of their own home. All of the care we provide at Severn Hospice is free of charge, but not without cost. It is thanks to the unwavering support of the people of Shropshire and Mid Wales that our caring teams are able to be there when it matters most for those who need our help. We are immensely proud and grateful for the long relationship between our hospice and the Rotary Clubs in the area. Their commitment and dedication to raising funds for charities like our hospice is truly admirable. To find out more about the work of the Severn Hospice please follow this link.
This year the four Presidents of Rotary in Telford have nominated these local charities to receive an equal share of the remaining donations.
Hope House Children’s Hospices provide care and support to life-limited children and young people from Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Mid Wales. We’re here to help them enjoy the best possible quality of life, both emotionally and practically. We’re here 365 days a year for their parents and families too, who can often find it hard to cope and feel isolated. We’re here throughout the lifetime of their child – and often well beyond – with specialist nursing care, counselling support, empathy and understanding. Our dedicated teams work at our two hospices, Hope House & Tŷ Gobaith, in the family’s own home and within local communities.

Dementia Appeal – supporting Good Dementia Care at SaTH
The aim of our Dementia Appeal is to assist our hospitals with the creation of dementia-friendly spaces and to buy equipment and resources that will help to reduce confusion, anxiety and distress for patients who have dementia.
An acute general hospital can be a disorientating and often frightening place for anyone, but this may be considerably worse for someone who is living with dementia. The stress often of an unfamiliar environment and the constant challenge the person faces in understanding what is happening can be overwhelming. The risks of distress and deterioration in health and well-being consequently increase.
We try to provide appropriate activities to support stimulation to help people to remain alert and motivated. Activities can also reduce like agitation, repeated questions, and anger. This keeps people engaged and occupied as well as giving them a way to use their energy in a positive way.

The Bridge School Mission Statement
“Striving for Excellence-Valuing Achievement”
Our School is a place where everyone is treated with dignity, with respect and is of equal worth.
Our vision is to develop a highly effective learning community.
We exist to improve the lives of everyone impacted by cancer in our community, as well as helping others understand and recognise the signs and symptoms of cancer, and to seek appropriate support sooner rather than later.
We want to help the community throughout Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid-Wales, live life well – before, during and after cancer.
