Toad Hall Nursery Group support seriously ill children
A team of friends from Toad Hall Nursery are putting on their running shoes to raise money for WellChild children’s charity at the upcoming Weybridge 10km race. The group are taking on the challenge as part of a year of fundraising for WellChild, which supports seriously ill children and their families across the UK.
Taking part in the 10km run on Sunday June 4th, are a team of 12 who all work together at Toad Hall Nursery in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. Toad Hall Nursey has taken WellChild on as its charity of the year for 2023 and they have been raising money with a series of events since January.
Ashlea Sexton, Walton-on-Thames Nursery Manager said: “The staff team at Felcott Road has chosen to take part in the Weybridge 10k as this is a local event to our nursery. We are hoping lots of friends and our families at nursery can get involved and support us on the day.
“Working with children every day, WellChild is a charity that is close to our hearts. Toad Hall Nursery Group has been supporting WellChild this year, with the aim to raise as many funds as possible throughout the year by taking part in various fundraisers across the company.”
WellChild Chief Executive Matt James said: “Thank you so much to all the brilliant staff at Toad Hall Nursery for their hard work to raise money for WellChild. For many of the children, young people and families we support, just getting through the day is a huge challenge. On their behalf I thank all the team at Toad Hall Nursery for all the hard work they are putting in throughout the year. It is a tough time for all charities and currently the situation for families is particularly tough. They have come out of a desperate situation during the COVID pandemic and into the crippling cost-of-living crisis. We are working hard to find new ways to get families the support they need. Most recently, we have been sourcing grants to help families most acutely in need of financial help with such necessities as food and energy bills.”
