As some of you may already know, a despicable act was carried out this last week at our local Pilgrims Hospice. Someone took it upon themselves to break in and felt it was their right to take valuable items and cause unnecessary damage, full story here;

It was an awful thing to have to deal with for all of the staff but the silver lining was the support that was received by so many local Ashfordians, and further afield too! Our local DJ, Mr John "Webbo" Webster rallied everyone to the cause and the response was outstanding!
Here at Evolution we kicked straight in to gear and replaced the television the very next day, https://www.facebook.com/johnwebbo.webster/posts/939212486213574, the local Albion Pub collected enough money to replace a video camera, Bill Wilson MD of AES Precision Engineering replaced the other, Fox Energy handed over an amazing cheque for £1000 and the list just goes on and on!
This makes us all so proud to be part of the town and its things like this that show peoples true colours.
An amazing lady, Kay Ovenden, has started a collection page here;

As I am writing this, the page has reached a whopping £605, 60% of its target and I am asking for each of you to make a donation, doesn't matter how small. Lets help the hospice get back on its feet and make some huge steps forward.
Thank you so much
