Barrie Wells Trust ambassador and Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson hosted a Box4Kids The Jockey Club event with our Chairman Barrie Wells at Haydock Park in May. Here's what she had to say about the day! "A few weeks ago I caught up with Barrie Wells, a dear friend of mine & someone who helped me out a lot in the early stages of my career. It makes me very happy to still be involved with him and some of the work he does! Barrie Wells Trust, Box4Kids, is a charity that has been close to my heart for the last 5 years, making thousands of poorly kids dreams come true & giving them an experience they won't forget. If anyone would like to get involved or donate a box, please contact the Barrie Wells Trust team. This video just gives a little insight into what goes on!!"
