Our Hospiscare Heroes are truly super; week after week, they support our charity with their fundraising endeavours across Exeter, Mid and East Devon. From all of us at Hospiscare, we are sending a huge thank you to all of our Hospiscare Heroes. Read on to find out how they have been flexing their super powers this week.
We are sending a huge thank you to Coldharbour Farm for holding a wonderful afternoon tea to raise money for our charity on Saturday 7 August. Despite the slightly inclement weather, the day was a huge success with supporters enjoying their teas under gazebos and umbrellas while singer Michelle Mae performed. The event included a raffle and cake stall and raised an amazing total of £1,500! Thank you to Coldharbour Farm Shop, Sheila Williams and her helpers, Michelle Mae, Pixie Day Committee, the local WI, the Town Council, the Honiton Hospiscare Support Group, the Ottervale Friends of Hospiscare and all of those who attended and made the day such a success.
We are very grateful to the Mark Masters Masons of Devonshire, funded by the Mark Benevolent Fund, for their recent donation of £8,000 to our local charity. Peter Balsom, the Provincial Grand Master for Devonshire, said “We are absolutely delighted that the members of the Province have chosen to support Hospiscare. We are all aware of the toll that the pandemic has taken on charities across the country and we hope that this small gift will go some way to help enhance patient care and provide improved facilities for those in need and their families.”
