Workers raise a great summer for Lincolnshire hospice
Staff from Jacksons Workwear Rental have raised £4,000 for St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice through a series of fund-raisers held last year.
For the second consecutive year the hospice was chosen as the company’s charity of the year bringing their overall donation to £8,475.
Steve Pearce, general manager at Jacksons, said: “Many of us have experienced first-hand the devastation that a life-limiting illness can cause and we have been touched by the loss of someone we love.
“Fund-raising provided us with the opportunity to make a difference and was a huge boost for our team morale.”
Veronica Brien, head of fund-raising and marketing at St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice, added: “It is so humbling to witness the generosity of such a dedicated workforce.
“They have all worked incredibly hard to raise this fantastic amount of money which equates to a month’s care in a patient’s own home.
“It is only through the support of our local community that we are able to continue caring for patients in Lincolnshire.”
