Chris Jarvis of CJ Decorating is organising his annual charity raffle and auction for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice and The Children’s Hospital Charity at The Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

Chris comments: “I do this yearly in memory of my son Jamie Ryan who sadly passed away due to a defective heart condition. I know the suffering and heartache the children and families are going through at the two amazing facilities and if I can make their lives better by doing the fundraising then every penny raised will mean so much.

“So I am appealing for raffle prize donations and possible auction items which will maximise raffle ticket sales when we put them on sale in mid-October. No donation is too big or small and every offer will be gratefully received. If you or someone you know owns a business or shop and would be willing to help, please get in touch. Whether it be a hairdressers, beauty treatments, pub or restaurant, shopping vouchers, gym or spa, sports items or tickets, alcohol or chocolates, anything will make a difference to those families. Thank you!”
