Corporate Partnerships
Every day, St Teresa’s Hospice supports patients and their families through some of the most challenging times of their lives, but we can’t do this without the backing of our local community.
The average daily cost is now over £9,800 to offer our specialist care.
We’re inviting like-minded businesses to become Corporate Charity Partners to enable us to continue to provide this vital care.
Your support can make a real impact, helping ensure people in our community facing the end of their life are supported to live life to the full and die with dignity in a place that is right for them, knowing their loved ones are supported.
Building a charity partnership with St Teresa’s Hospice is a fantastic way to not only enhance your company’s brand, showing customers you care by aligning your business with a trusted, well-respected local charity, but also to empower your employees by involving them in a cause that truly matters.
“On behalf of our whole family and friends we would like to thank St Teresa’s Hospice, all staff and volunteers,
for looking after our mam.
Her final days were made so peaceful thanks to every amazing person who makes the hospice what it is.”
