A new playground at Rebecca House has been officially opened by Hospice Young Ambassador, Dylan Walton and local businessman, Trevor Hemmings.
Mr Hemmings made a significant donation towards the funds that Dylan Walton raised for the playground, on behalf of The TJH Foundation.
In 2020, nine year old Dylan Walton, who has been referred to Rebecca House since 2013, decided to take on the challenge of climbing Snaefell to help raise funds for the playground which is fun, safe and specific towards the needs of the children at Rebecca House.
The new playground aptly named ‘Dylan’s Playground’ features equipment that children who are living with life-limiting conditions can enjoy completely free from restrictions.
Anne Mills, Chief Executive of Hospice, said: “We were absolutely delighted to hear of the support that Trevor Hemmings gave us through The TJH Foundation in honour of our Young Ambassador; Dylan. It was truly an honour for us to host him at the official opening of the new Rebecca House playground. He and Dylan had a wonderful time together and it was fantastic to be able to show him exactly what his donation was funding, and the needs of our children and their families that he is helping to support through his generous donation. Thank you again to the wonderful TJH Foundation. Whilst visiting Rebecca House Mr Hemmings was so impressed by the aspiration and work of our team that he donated a further £25,000 towards much needed running costs.”
