Patrons

Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan live near Looe.  Julie popped a note through their door inviting them to help Ellie's Haven. Initially, they responded by donating an object for a charity auction, but that was just the beginning. Since then, they've quietly provided a lot of support.

Dr Carolyn Adcock and Dr Alan Cade are consultant paediatricians at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.
