A group of 31 siblings whose family members are cared for at the Derian House Children’s Hospice recently visited the Pendle Ski Club in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
This marked a significant milestone for numerous members of this group, as they embarked on their inaugural skiing adventure, commencing the day with a comprehensive beginner’s lesson aimed at equipping them with the fundamental knowledge and techniques required to navigate the pistes.
As the children’s excitement and anticipation reached a fever pitch, they eagerly donned their inflatable rubber rings and embarked on a fun-filled tubing adventure down the slopes.
Smiles all round as youngsters enjoy tubing
In a heartwarming display of generosity, the Pendle Ski Club committee had carefully prepared goodie bags packed with an assortment of tasty treats and meaningful mementoes for the young visitors.
To bring an already extraordinary day to a close, the club presented the young visitors with scrumptious cake and made their day even more unforgettable by arranging a meet-and-greet with Olympian Chemmy Alcott, who kindly signed photos for every single child.
Thanks to the Pendle Ski Club’s remarkable fundraising campaign, which had reached a total of £555, the siblings from Derian House were able to enjoy an unforgettable day and form lasting memories that would stay with them throughout their lives.
Derian House Children’s Hospice serves as an essential resource providing multifaceted care and support services to families requiring assistance throughout Lancashire.
Initiatives such as this one serve as a poignant reminder of the significance of collective efforts to make a profoundly positive impact on people’s lives within local communities.
