Rachel Rawlings, Corporate Fundraiser at Countess Mountbatten Hospice, presented us with the award at our head office last week.
“There was some tough competition for our Fundraising Charity Partner award this year, but the team at Elliotts did such a fantastic job fundraising for the hospice through our charity of the year partnership that it just made sense for them to win!” says Rachel Rawlings, Corporate Fundraiser at Countess Mountbatten Hospice.
“Lots of Elliotts staff got behind their charity initiatives, with a particularly popular golf day and really successful cycle challenge across France.
“We're really grateful for their support and so pleased that we could recognise them in this way.”
Countess Mountbatten Hospice has been caring for people with life-limiting illnesses in Hampshire for over 40 years. It costs the hospice over £6million every year to provide their vital services, most of which comes from donations and voluntary funding.
When we partnered with the hospice from April 2018 to April 2019, we supported them by volunteering at events and donating goods for the charity’s boutiques.
Thanks to our fantastic employees, customers and suppliers, we also raised more than £6,800 for the hospice by holding a charity golf day and cycling 550 miles across France.
"Many of our employees have a connection to Countess Mountbatten Hospice and they became our staff-nominated charity of the year in 2018-19”, says Tom Elliott, Managing Director.
“It’s an honour to be recognised as their Fundraising Charity Partner of the Year. It's thanks to the efforts of our team who encouraged donations and took part in numerous fundraising events.”
Thank you to everyone who helped us support Countess Mountbatten Hospice.
