Jessie May chosen for CIBC funding

Charity Jessie May, which provides hospice at home care for children with terminal illnesses in Wiltshire, has been selected to receive funding support from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and the CIBC Children’s Foundation for the 2017/18 year.

The charity is one of three to receive funding support from the CIBC Children’s Foundation, which raises money through events including the Breakfast Launch in May, the Lord Mayor’s Giving Day and CIBC Miracle Day.

The funds will help provide vital respite and specialist nursing provision for Jessie May’s Swindon & Wiltshire families, and ensure the charity can accept 20 new referrals from the area over the next twelve months.

Jessie May Swindon & Wiltshire fundraising officer, Debbie Clark, said: “Jessie May is thrilled to be chosen by the CIBC Children’s Foundation as a beneficiary, especially in this our 21st year of operation.

“We are really looking forward to the year of fundraising ahead, as well as the opportunity to raise our profile in London.”

Jessie May cares for children with terminal illness within their own homes in Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and Wiltshire. It costs around £1,200,000 to provide this care yearly and as the charity is almost entirely dependent on public support funding like this is essential.
