Ross's Estate Agents staff raise £200 for St Mary's

We would like to thank Ross's Estate Agents, Ulverston for raising £200. The money was raised at a birthday party held for valued member of staff Ken. Ken kindly expressed his wishes for all attendees to donate to St Mary's rather than bringing a gift. The staff at Ross's commented on the party being fantastic fun, and they all knew that they were contributing to a worthy cause.

Many people choose to give a donation to St Mary's, in lieu of gifts, when celebrating a special occasion. Whether it's a special birthday, anniversary, wedding or christening we can provide your guests with a special card inviting then to give a gift to the hospice. Gifts in celebration are an increasing source of income for St Mary's and we are very grateful to everyone for the generosity they show in helping us in this way.

Contact the fundraising team to discuss your celebrations and gift card requirements on 01229 580305 or email events@stmaryshospice.org.uk
