00:00So we're here at the Traveller's Joy
00:02Telford area and introduce yourselves guys. I'm Vic. I'm Vicky. I'm Rose
00:09And I'm Dawn from Hope House Children's Hospice.
00:12Cool, so there's a bit of a special event going on isn't there guys just fill us in on what's what's about to happen inside the pub
00:19Well, there's a karaoke. There's an auction
00:23What else have we got?
00:24Cake sale, bric-a-brac. We've got some fantastic auction prizes. There's quite a few there on the list
00:30Just reel a couple of them off. Can you remember off the top of your head Vicky?
00:35Rose is the best one to ask. Go Rose!
00:37There's a voucher for cases for 10 people for a motown night.
00:45There's bingo worth £120. Not bad.
00:52I saw there's a return taxi fare to Shrewsbury. I kind of like that. That's a bit out there isn't it? It's a bit different.
00:57There's an exotic zoo meerkat experience.
01:04No, well there's a lot on there isn't there? There's a page full.
01:08APW wrestling events. Vicky's grandson. Lots of lovely flowers donated. Hampers.
01:14So why Hope House then? Why Hope House?
01:19Is there any personal attachments? Or are you just aware of the good work they do?
01:25Well, I just think if you can't help kids, you've got to have a purpose in life.
01:33And how important is it to Hope House that events like this? It's critical isn't it really?
01:38It's so important. It takes £9.6 million a year to keep both hospitality sites open.
01:46And we really couldn't do what we do without the support from our local community.
01:50So events like this, this is part of our £50 challenge where we challenged everybody here to raise as much as they could with a £50 investment.
02:01And so far, we've been blown away by everybody's generosity.
02:06But we really couldn't do what we do without these. So we very much appreciate it.
02:11Great stuff. Well good on you guys and we'll let you get in there and start the events. Thank you.
