Corporate supporter stories

Find out what some of the businesses who have supported us over the years have gained from their generosity and the creative ideas they have put into fundraising.

We are extremely grateful for all the support we receive from our corporate supporters and we simply wouldn’t exist without donations and gifts from local businesses and the community.

To celebrate the support we receive, we want to share some stories about how local businesses fundraise for the hospice and provide vital support through employee fundraising, event participation, sponsorship and donations, to name but a few. We hope that these stories will inspire your fundraising journey and show that there are many different ways in which your business and employees can support their local hospice.
