Caring Scouts from Bromley are cleaning up gardens and at the same time making a positive difference to the lives of some terminally ill patients.
14th Bromley Scout Group has helped clear the grounds of children’s charity Demelza House in Eltham, in order to make way for new plants and flowers.
The green-fingered group have worked voluntarily to help make the hospice a nicer atmosphere for residents, whilst also improving the outdoor scenery. In addition, to cleaning up at St Christopher’s Hospice site to make way for the development of their new laundry.
The Demelza House Children’s Hospice helps life-limited or life threatened children or young people and their families benefit from a wide range of facilities that include the use of multi-sensory and soft play equipment.
However, 14th Bromley Scout Group’s kind and caring work does not stop there. They have raised £7,500 for children’s hospice, Demelza House, through fund-raising activities such as packing people's bags at the local supermarket and a further £2,228, for St Christopher’s Hospice.
St Christopher’s Hospice exists to promote and provide skilled and compassionate calming care of the highest quality. Their vision is a world in which all dying people and those close to them have access to appropriate care and support, when they need it, wherever they need it and whoever they are.
Scout leader, James Allen, said: “We are thrilled and privileged to help these extremely worthwhile charities.
“It is always a good thing, when the group can use skills they’ve learnt whilst being at Scout meetings, such as gardening and DIY.”
