The ‘Foresters Call in 4 Kids’ radio appeal supports eight local children’s hospices
throughout the UK with a

 

goal of raising over £20,000. Local radio stations will be airing promotional advertisements
throughout Children’s Hospice Week, highlighting the needs of children’s hospices.

 

 

All week, Foresters members and staff are

 

volunteering time to answer the phones and take pledges.

 

 

As a thank you to those who make a donation, Foresters are running a free

 

prize draw for a weekend trip to Disneyland Paris for two adults and two children.
Callers will be asked a simple tie-breaker question and their name will automatically
be entered into the prize draw.
