A PROJECT to build the UK’s first respite holiday village for children with critical illnesses near Lichfield has been boosted by a donation from a local business.
Kids’ Village, which is being earmarked for land in Wychnor, is currently fundraising to help make the project a reality.
The coffers have been boosted by a £1,800 donation from Boots Opticians in Lichfield following a recent ultramarathon event at Stowe Pool.
Manjit Talwar, franchise partner at the city centre business, said:
“This is a fantastic cause to help build the UK’s first Kids’ Village which will help sick children by giving them a restful break away from the trauma of being in and out of hospitals.
“Our donation will contribute towards the capital funds needed to build this special place.”
