As part of their ongoing support, East Lancashire Hospice has launched a new initiative, giving local businesses an opportunity to show their support for the Hospice by becoming an Ambassador
Marisa Bannan, Corporate Fundraiser at East Lancashire Hospice, shared:
“We work with a variety of local businesses, many of which already support the Hospice within our community. We wanted to launch this scheme to allow those businesses to deepen their connection with East Lancashire Hospice and represent our charity on a more formal basis.”
Leanne Green, Head of Fundraising at East Lancashire Hospice, added:
“It’s likely that every patient, family member, or visitor will pass the Ambassador Wall at some point during their visit. Located at the centre of the Hospice, the wall showcases the unwavering and ongoing support we receive from our Ambassadors, and we’re proud to spotlight the great work that they do.”
Local creative marketing and branding agency Media Village was the first business to become an official Ambassador. They also generously designed and installed the Ambassador Wall free of charge.
Michael Lambert, Managing Director at Media Village, commented:
“East Lancashire Hospice symbolises excellence in holistic care and community service. Supporting the Hospice feels like a natural extension of who we are and what we stand for. Supporting local hospice care is important because every person deserves dignity, comfort, and compassion at the end of life—close to home and surrounded by community.”
PM+M, a leading independent firm of accountants and advisers, was the second company to join the scheme. Their Positive Impact Initiative provides support to local charities through donations, sponsorship, and volunteering as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.
Julie Walsh, Tax Manager at PM+M, explained:
“East Lancashire Hospice needs support. Hospices only receive 25% of their funding from the government and rely on fundraising and community support to raise the remaining 75%. Whether you donate or volunteer, it all makes a difference.”
East Lancashire Hospice is now looking for its next Ambassadors and encourages local businesses to consider this unique and meaningful opportunity.
