For over a decade, Derian House Children’s Hospice in Chorley, Lancashire has been the charity of choice for Holchem Laboratories. The company has raised almost £100,000 over the years through various fundraising events, notably our charity dinner dances. This year, Holchem has donated all the cleaning chemicals that the Hospice requires.
Derian House
For the parents of a child diagnosed as terminally ill, there can be no long term future. For them Derian House Children’s Hospice in Chorley becomes an intrinsic part of that future. Whilst the children’s lives may be cut tragically short, the Hospice ensures that they lead as full and normal life as possible by offering them the optimum support to cope with their illness, along with the best possible medical care, along with as much fun and laughter as they can pack into a single day.
When Steve Bell, the founder of Holchem Laboratories, was looking for a local charity to support he was drawn towards Derian House because of the fabulous work they carried out for the children in their care. As a result, the Hospice has become the Company’s charity of choice for over 10 years.
Unfortunately Steve Bell passed away in the summer of 2009, but the Board of Holchem was determined to carry on the company’s charitable link with Derian House. As a result the company now donate all of Derian House’s annual requirements for cleaning chemicals, not only for the Hospice itself, but also their Charity Shops.
We are proud as a company to be associated with a charity that does such outstanding work in the local community. If you feel that you would like to make a donation please use the links.
