Static Bike Ride  (15th-17th August)

A fantastic 3 days of pedalling saw the local Police, other partners and our security team pedalling from Lands End to John O'Groats on static bikes. The 1,000 mile target was broken and at the end of the third day, the total achieved was a 1,007 miles. Well done to all those that participated. We would like to thank Fitness First and Lewisham Leisure for their kind support by providing us with the static bikes.

What is Demelza?

Demelza, the hospice care for children charity, is to start up new services in South London for children with life limiting and life threatening conditions and their families. A new building at Court Road, Eltham, London SE9 is in the process of being built and is due for completion by the end of December this year.

Lewisham Shopping security team have been working hard every month raising money to buy a mini bus to transport the children at the new Demelza Hospice in Eltham. Since March this year, the security team has thought up various ways of fundraising starting with an Easter Raffle, followed by tombolas and a charity evening. 

Anyone wishing to make a donation towards this worthy cause should contact Richard Huntley at Lewisham Shopping centre, telephone number 020 8852 0094 or email Lewishamshoppingcentre@landsecurities.com.
