IMSM successfully raised \u00a31093.10 for Julia’s House<\/a>, the Dorset and Wiltshire Children\u2019s Hospice. Julia\u2019s House<\/a> is a lifeline for parents facing the devastating reality that their child may not live into adulthood and will need constant round-the-clock-care. The charity provides award-winning care for babies, children and young people with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions and support for their families. IMSM heard about the local charity and wanted to support them in whichever way they could. The money was raised through activities such as sponsored abseiling, cake sales, dress-down days and prize draws. Michael Bright, owner of IMSM, said, \u201cJulia\u2019s House<\/a> plays a vital role in the local community, the care provided to these children is second to none. I\u2019m very proud of everyone at IMSM pulling together to help raise this money – I know it will be gratefully received. I hope Julia\u2019s House<\/a> continues to go from strength to strength.\u201d<\/p>\n IMSM were invited to see the charity\u2019s Devizes hospice and were amazed by the facilities on offer. From sensory rooms and gardens, to computers that use eye-tracking for children who may not be physical able to move a mouse. The thought and effort that has gone into ensuring the child has a safe, fun environment to relax and play in was amazing to see. Hannah Gale, who runs the charity committee at IMSM stated, \u201cVisiting the hospice really opens your eyes to the magical work that they do for the families in their care. IMSM try to organise events at least once a month to ensure we are doing all we can to raise as much money as possible.\u201d IMSM is very proud to be supporting Julia\u2019s House<\/a>, as they make a real difference to those families in need.\u201d<\/p>\n
