Last week, Tom Ashley, Kristine Pollock and Mike Jones visited Chestnut Tree House hospice in Sussex to see first-hand the vital care, comfort and support they provide to children with life-shortening conditions and their families. 💜 Spending time at Chestnut Tree House offered a powerful insight into the difference this care makes for families during the most challenging times. The visit highlighted the incredible impact of the fundraising and charity initiatives led by ILG colleagues across the business. We’re proud of our partnership with Together for Short Lives and of the teams who continue to go above and beyond to support children’s hospices across the UK, helping to ensure families can access the care they need, when and where they need it most. Thank you to the team at Chestnut Tree House for welcoming ILG colleagues and for the extraordinary work you do every day.
