This must rate as one of the best local pub charity efforts as customers and staff of The Andover Tap at The Lamb, raised an incredible £19,669.60p in just one year for the chosen charity Naomi House & Jack's Place.
The funds came from an amazing number of charity events ranging from raffles and beard shaves to parachute jumping. From a few pennies of change dropped in the charity pot to sponsoring a marathon walk, every penny counts.
Located at Sutton Scotney, Naomi House & Jacks Place are hospices providing Specialist Nursing and Respite Care for life limited and life threatened Children and Young Adults.
The charity is currently experiencing some serious funding issues and needs all the support it can get. The numbers of children and young people receiving end of life care has more than doubled over last five years. In addition the hospice's costs have increased by a third and the charity is having to use its reserves.
It relies heavily on supporters and donations.
