Corporate Helpers
A big thank you to the team from Octopus Energy who spent a day volunteering in our Transit Way warehouse this week. They were a great help with sorting through the mountain of donations. The volunteers are all brand ambassadors for Octopus and spend one day a month volunteering in the community. We are always grateful to corporate volunteers for giving up their time to help out at Dame Hannahs. If your company is interested in volunteering please contact Debbie or Daniel at supportus@discoverhannahs.org.

Lions Cheque
A big thank you to the Plymouth Tamar Lions Club for all their fundraising and their very generous donation of £200. Lions President Francis Sturman presented a cheque to our Community Engagement Officer Debbie Lumsdon. Each year the President chooses a charity for their year in the role and all proceeds from the Club’s fundraising activities go to the chosen charity. Francis has been a member of the Club for 15 years and this year he is President and chose Dame Hannahs as their charity of the year.

We are delighted that Dame Hannahs Make your Will Week is returning in March for the first time in three years.
Make your Will with no expensive legal fees, just a donation to Dame Hannahs. If you have children, a partner, own a property, have savings, investments or own a business, you need a Will - you may also recognise that your existing Will needs updating.
For one week only, local participating solicitors will waive their entire simple Will-writing fee in return for a donation to Dame Hannahs.
