Trusts and Foundations

We’re so grateful for the support of charitable trusts and foundations in funding vital projects and our hospice care. We’d like to say a sincere thank you to The Colefax Charitable Trust, The Mamon De Laszlo Foundation, and ShareGift for awarding us grants totalling £8,000 in June to support our essential hospice services.

Thanks to the generosity of organisations like those, we can carry out important initiatives, including our recent project- Replacing Inefficient Heating Appliances to Enhance Hospice’s Energy Efficiency, which was supported by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s Community Infrastructure Fund. We’re grateful for their support in helping us undertake such a critical project, which will enable our hospice to lower energy costs and carbon emissions – saving costs in the long term.
