Tameside-based solicitors raise hundreds of pounds for local hospice

Through colleague fundraising efforts, Bromleys Solicitiors have raised £862.50 for their nominated Charity Partner, Willow Wood Hospice.

Last week, Chris Eaton and Lauren Healy, from Bromleys’ Staff Committee, proudly presented the cheque to Samantha Kitch, fundraising manager at Willow Wood Hospice.

Speaking on the presentation, Samantha said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to Bromleys for choosing Willow Wood as their Charity of the Year last year and to everyone at the firm who helped to raise a fantastic amount for the Hospice.

"The money will make a difference to patients from Tameside and Glossop with a life-limiting illness in our care. With only 20 per cent of our annual funding coming through central government, the generous support of our community is vital so we can continue to provide a wide range of services to improve the quality of life for our patients and those closest to them.”

Chris and Lauren described the company's fundraising efforts as “incredible”.

Chris said: “Throughout 2023 the staff committee at Bromleys organised a number of lunches, dress down days and sweepstakes to raise funds for Willow Wood and their incredible work, as well as attending the Willow Wood Grand Ball in November, which was a brilliant evening!”

Lauren added: “It is great to hear what a positive difference the money raised will have on the hospice and its patients and we hope to continue our support in the future.”

This year the hospice celebrates its 25^th year of service to the Tameside and Glossop community, providing patients who are experiencing serious illness and coming to the end of their lives with love, care, and support.

The hospice enables its patients to experience the lives they have left to the full, in a tranquil and dignifying setting, while also providing family support services through a variety of channels. 

The Bromleys Social Committee are proud to be supporting community services throughout the Tameside and Glossop community and will continuously strive to do so.
