The Countess of Brecknock Hospice is thrilled to announce that their Charity of the Year partnership with Parker Bullen raised over £4,000.
Throughout 2024, the team at Parker Bullen took part in several events and fundraising initiatives, which resulted in raising an impressive £4,422.44 to help with the vital work that the Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust provides.
Each year, Parker Bullen proudly supports a charity chosen by their employees, reflecting their commitment as a firm to corporate social responsibility and creating a positive impact within their local communities.
Throughout the partnership over the past year, they raised funds through a series of activities, including:
- The Countess of Brecknock Hospice 10@10 walk, where the team walked 10 miles around Andover starting at 10pm.
- The Romsey Relay Marathon, during which the team collectively ran the distance of a marathon in an impressive 4 hours and 20 minutes.
- Their fundraiser raffle at our Summer Drinks Party.
- They proudly supported The Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust’s “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Campaign”, allowing the local community to dedicate yellow ribbons in memory of their loved ones or to give back to the hospice.
- Finally, they launched a Free Wills Scheme in partnership with the charity. The scheme encourages local people to make or amend their Will for free. While there is no obligation, it is hoped that those taking part will consider leaving the charity a gift in their Will in return to help secure the future of the hospice.
In addition to their firm-wide activities, their amazing receptionist, Cheryl Tarrant, took her own fundraising efforts to the next level and Braved the Shave, raising over £1,500. Cheryl’s selfless gesture was in memory of two very special people close to her heart.
“Our partnership with The Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust as our Charity of the Year has been an incredibly rewarding experience,” shared Karen Clarkson, Marketing and Business Development Manager. “Raising over £4,000 to support the vital palliative and end-of-life care they provide to our community is an achievement we are immensely proud of. It has been so rewarding to see our team come together for events like the 10@10 walk and the Romsey Relay Marathon, showcasing the collaboration and community spirit that drives our fundraising efforts. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to support The Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust and we look forward to continuing to champion their incredible work.”
Michele Gard, Charity Director said: “Raising over £4,000 makes a real difference in providing care to those who need it most.
