**The Bank of England has made Haven House Children’s Hospice a Charity of the Year
as a result of its historical links with Sir Winston Churchill and its support for
local Woodford Green families.**

[Haven House](http://www.havenhouse.org.uk) is located at The White House (main 
image) in Woodford Green’s Mallinson Park, which was previously frequented by Churchill
during his time as the local MP for Woodford. It was nominated by Bank of England
member of staff Alison Curtiss because of its links, which tied in with this year’s
launch of the new £5 note featuring Churchill.

Curtiss said:

> “I nominated Haven House Children’s Hospice as it is a very worthy charity, located
> close to the Bank’s site in Debden. Given the recent launch of the New Fiver, 
> featuring Sir Winston Churchill, I felt it would be particularly poignant for 
> the Bank to support a charity so close to its note production site and also in
> Churchill’s former constituency.”

The Bank of England’s Charity of the Year partnership with Haven House will run 
until November 2017 and will see employees both fundraise and volunteer with the
hospice.
