Hartlepool's Alice House Hospice Welcomes ‘generous donation’ from housebuilder Persimmon
A much-loved hospice has been presented with a vital donation from a national housebuilder.
Hartlepool’s Alice House Hospice provides care and support to patients and families affected by the life limiting illness or death of a loved one across Tees Valley and East Durham.
Staff members recently welcomed representatives from Persimmon to formally receive the £3,000 donation after successfully applying to the company's Community Champions initiative.
The charity says the money will help go towards supporting local families and patients who receive its care.
Senior fundraising manager Julie Hildreth said: “It was our pleasure to welcome representatives of Persimmon Homes to Alice House and to receive their generous donation. This money will make a real difference to the lives of patients and families accessing local hospice care.
“We rely on the support of the region’s business community to sustain our services and this is a great example of how companies can get involved.
“Sending thanks from all here at Alice House for the team at Persimmon for their warmth and interest in our work.”
Persimmon Teesside sales director Natalie Bailey said: “It was a real pleasure to visit Alice House and learn more about the vital work they are doing to support patients and families in Hartlepool.
“We are proud to support Alice House and hope this donation goes far in helping Alice House to continue to offer the invaluable and compassionate care they do.”
