Chestnut Tree House is currently caring for approximately 220 life-limited children and their families across Sussex, with what is thought to be potentially another 400 families with life-limited children in Sussex that could benefit from the hospice’s services.

Last year saw Thesis increase its staff headcount across several different parts of the business. In the last few weeks this recruitment has continued and we’ve welcomed further new appointments to the firm. We are pleased to welcome the following new members of staff to Thesis:

Janet Rumney – HR Manager (Chichester)

With Thesis back this year as a sponsor of the Institute of Financial Planning (IFP), our attendance at it’s conference marked a return for us after three years away and we were at the Celtic Manor resort as a sponsor and exhibitor to help the IFP celebrate its 25th anniversary.

As with previous years, we try to get a little creative as an exhibitor. In addition to the opportunity to win an iPad 2, our game of jumping tiddly frogs was one of the surprisingly well attended activities that we got delegates to participate in for the chance to win a Thesis mug.

Our Lymington office organised a Charity Quiz Night jointly in support of the Oakhaven Hospice Trust and Champion Behaviours, the latter an organisation which provides motivation workshops to young people in the New Forest area who are in danger of exclusion from school and society.

Over 60 people attended the evening which raised £1,200 for the specifi c charities. A trophy and prizes were presented to the winning team, ‘The Whynots’ by Giles Marriage, Director of the Lymington offi ce. Congratulations to ‘The Whynots’ for their victory.
