It currently has 186 volunteers helping with activities including family and bereavement support, complementary therapy, fundraising, working in its shops and driving patients to appointments.
Julie Monk, Chief Executive Officer at Hospice at Home West Cumbria said: ‘’Hospice at Home West Cumbria is delighted to receive the generous donation of £14,703 through the Cumberland Building Society Affinity account. This has been particularly welcomed at a time when the charity is seeing an increase in the costs of delivering our services, alongside a growing demand."
The Affinity Account, which provides vital support to Cumbrian charities and institutions, is another example of The Cumberland’s commitment to Kinder banking.
Daniel Palmer, cluster manager at a number of Cumberland branches across west Cumbria, including Workington said: “Every year we’re extremely proud in giving this donation. It’s with special thanks to the ongoing support of our customers, allowing us to give something back to our local community.
“The enthusiasm, commitment, and dedication the teams give at the hospice is truly inspirational, knowing that every day they make a difference in so many people’s lives. It’s an absolute pleasure to be a part of it and to be able to recognise the amazing work they do.
