Pizzarova to support local children’s hospice through pizza-making workshops and fundraising challenges
Pizzarova is stepping up its support for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW), with founder Jack Lander taking on RUN Barnstaple in September and the Pizzarova team launching a series of pizza-making workshops at Charlton Farm, CHSW’s children’s hospice located in Wraxall, Bristol.
The workshops are being delivered through the Rova Foundation, Pizzarova’s charitable initiative, with the first session that took place at Charlton Farm on Saturday 12 September. The team plans to continue running pizza-making workshops at the hospice on a regular basis, bringing the joy of pizza-making to children and families supported by the local hospice.
Jack’s support for CHSW began in 2021, when he took part in the Endurance Life Jurassic Coast Marathon. This challenge is a gruelling 27-mile route from Lulworth to Swanage all to raise vital funds for the local charity.
His connection with CHSW has continued to grow. After visiting Charlton Farm for a pizza-making workshop, Jack was inspired to get more involved and make a longer-term commitment to supporting the charity.
Since then, Pizzarova has provided pizzas for numerous CHSW fundraising events and Jack has also shared his experiences and passion for the charity by speaking at one of CHSW’s Business Club networking event.
As part of Pizzarova’s continued commitment to CHSW, Jack will be lacing up his trainers for RUN Barnstaple this September, while the team will bring its pizza-making workshops to Charlton Farm on a regular basis through the Rova Foundation.
Jack Lander, Founder of Pizzarova:
I couldn’t be prouder to be taking on the Run Barnstaple event this September in aid of Children’s Hospice South West.
"Pizzarova’s relationship with the hospice goes right back to 2015, when we visited with our Land Rover shortly after opening our first site in Bristol — and we’ve stayed close to them ever since, supporting in whatever ways we can. Seeing their work up close, and meeting some of the incredibly strong children and families they care for, really brought home just how much every single pound raised means.”
Children’s Hospice South West provides expert care and support for babies, children, and young people with life-limiting conditions across the region. Its services include short breaks, specialist play, sibling support, and end-of-life care.
It costs almost £16 million to keep the 3 hospices open and provide vital care to families wherever they are across the South West, whilst also raising the funds to continue to be there for babies, children and young people and their families. Every contribution helps families access the care and support they need at their most challenging times.
