Raffle raises funds for Wallace & Gromit's Children's Foundation
Raffles organised by the team of volunteer Stewards aboard last Summer’s Torbay Express steam trains raised over £2,000 for the Wallace and Gromit's Children’s Foundation. The Torbay Express would like to thank the Stewards for all their hard work and the passengers who so generously and kindly contributed.
The Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Foundation, based in Bristol, is a national charity for children’s health that raises money for sick children in hospitals and hospices throughout the UK and . Every year across the UK millions of children are treated in hospitals and hospices. Some suffer from common childhood illnesses whilst others face serious and possibly life-changing conditions such as cancer or leukaemia. Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation provides comfort, state of the art equipment, family facilities and entertainment such as art, music and play therapy to hundreds of thousands of sick kids each year. It is the only children’s charity supporting sick kids in hospitals and hospices throughout the UK.
