Charity Support for 2020

Over the last 8 years, Billie Box has held 2 Billie Box Balls, 1 Midsummer party, 1 Afternoon tea, got locked up in a bank, cycled from London to Paris and made many donations to a fair number of charities. These charities include, St. Elizabeth Hospice, Age UK, Papworth Trust, Myeloma UK,  Centrepoint, Families in Need, Cancer Campaign in Suffolk, Clic Sargent, Lighthouse and many more.

During this really difficult time, Billie Box has realised that many charities are suffering and the people that benefit from each charity by the very nature will also suffer.

In order to help, Billie Box has made a small donation to the following charities:

Age UK Suffolk – towards the”Good Day Call”

Papworth Trust – towards the “Virtual Fundraising Challenge”

Colchester & Ipswich Hospital Trust – Support for the NHS staff Covid-19

Home-Start Suffolk – for their support to the local families in need.

If you can donate to these charities I am sure they will appreciate it.

Please do stay safe and well.

London to Paris Cycle Ride for St Elizabeth Hospice

Jane on October 9, 2014

Update 21-Sep-15

Well we have cycled from London to Paris and raised over £8,200 for the St. Elizabeth Hospice. The weather was gruelling and the hills were certainly a lot bigger than the Suffolk undulations. Exhausted now, but elated that we have done it.

In keeping with Jane Billing’s tireless fundraising for many charities, Jane has now signed up to do the London to Paris Cycle Ride for the St. Elizabeth Hospice in September 2015. Also known as the #HospiceTeam100

Gillian Boyle (Artist and Jane’s sister-in-law) and Jane have agreed to cycle 300 miles in just 4 days for the St. Elizabeth Hospice. Paddy (Gillian and Jane’s father-in-law) passed away in the hospice 2 years ago. Paddy was well looked after during his time there. It was such a lovely environment and the staff were great too. So when Gillian suggested they enter the ‘Cycle ride’ it was a way of saying thank you for looking after Paddy so well.

There is a Justgiving site if you wish to push Gillian and Jane’s training along and eventually this enormous challenge.

Also, there is a way of sponsoring the girls’ shirts. As it is 4 days of cycling, the girls will have a shirt a day. We figure that there is space for 8-10 logos that could be printed on the back of each shirt. So in order to SPONSOR OUR SHIRT, please call Jane at Billie Box on 0800 121 7388 or 01473 557409.

We would like to thank the following sponsors so far:

Jane is cycling every week and so far, since January 2015, she has cycled 1,171 miles, some 50 cycle rides. The longest Jane has done is 60 miles in 4 hours 37 mins. Looking forward to doing more and getting faster.
