2026 Club Captains Charity

Club Captain Nigel Bow is continuing the support to Julia's House through 2026. The club  raised £4,735 for the charity in 2025.  Julia’s House is a Children's Hospice in Dorset and Wiltshire and they are an award-winning children’s hospice charity dedicated to bringing comfort and care to families across the two counties. Each family they support is unique and so is the care they provide. When a family finds out that their child has a very serious medical condition, which is life-limiting or life-threatening, their world falls apart. Julia’s House exists to help these children and their families.
