Burnley turf company gives green light for hospice fund-raising

Commenting on the charity partnership Joanne Balmer-Smith, group marketing manager of Balmers GM, said: “Members of staff had the opportunity to nominate a charity and then vote for the one they would most like to raise money for.

"We had a great response and the winning charity was Pendleside Hospice because of their great work within the local community. I think the majority of people, at some point in their life, will know someone with a life limiting illness and it’s so important that the individual and their families receive care and support which Pendleside gives so well."

Christina Cope, head of Corporate Fund-raising at Pendleside, said “On behalf of Pendleside I would like to say a huge thank you to the management and staff at Balmers GM for choosing Pendleside to support all year. In these difficult times it is heartwarming to have this level of support.”
