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.
