Charity Support for 2020

Over the last 8 years, Billie Box has held 2 Billie Box Balls, 1 Midsummer party, 1 Afternoon tea, got locked up in a bank, cycled from London to Paris and made many donations to a fair number of charities. These charities include, St. Elizabeth Hospice, Age UK, Papworth Trust, Myeloma UK,  Centrepoint, Families in Need, Cancer Campaign in Suffolk, Clic Sargent, Lighthouse and many more.

During this really difficult time, Billie Box has realised that many charities are suffering and the people that benefit from each charity by the very nature will also suffer.

In order to help, Billie Box has made a small donation to the following charities:

Age UK Suffolk – towards the”Good Day Call”

Papworth Trust – towards the “Virtual Fundraising Challenge”

Colchester & Ipswich Hospital Trust – Support for the NHS staff Covid-19

Home-Start Suffolk – for their support to the local families in need.

If you can donate to these charities I am sure they will appreciate it.

Please do stay safe and well.

Tiffers The Bus Shelter Ipswich

Jane on December 1, 2017

Billie Box sponsors Tiffers the Bus Shelter in Ipswich.

When Jane saw Tiffers The Bus Shelter on the BBC Lookeast news bulletin, she felt moved to help this worthwhile charity.

They select 5 rough sleepers to live on board the bus with them, the bus is static in one place, at the moment they are in a lay by as they do not have any permanent land, but the bus provides a warm safe haven for the 5 guests to enable them to get back to a ‘normal’ life.

Tiffers The Bus Shelter runs a charity shop in order to raise funds to carry on paying for the ongoing maintenance of the bus and feed their patrons. They rely totally on donations and the support of the shop.
It costs approximately £25k per year to run the bus (that’s not including any major vehicle repairs).
There are 14 places on the bus which equates to £1,785.00 per guest per year.
