Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity boosted by £1,500 donation

Aylesbury-based Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity recently received a £1,500 boost from Barratt David Wilson Homes, to allow them to continue providing vital care for patients with life-limiting illnesses. The housebuilder, currently building its Kingsbrook development just 2.3 miles from the charity’s head office, provided the donation as part of its Community Fund initiative.

Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity helps patients with life-limiting illnesses across Buckinghamshire to access the best possible care. It provides services to improve patients’ physical and mental wellbeing through clinical support, therapies and spiritual care on site and in patients’ homes.

Tony White, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity commented: “As a charity our work relies on the generosity of our supporters. Donations such as this allow us to continue providing much-needed services which make a huge difference to our patients’ lives. Every patient has different needs, and requires a varied level of care. Thanks to this donation we can continue to offer an individual service to every one of our patients ensuring we meet their unique needs.”

The donation was made as part of The Barratt Foundation’s Community Fund initiative, which sees the housebuilder to donate £1,500 each month to a local charity to improve the quality of life for those living in the local area.

Marc Woolfe, Head of Sales at Barratt David Wilson North Thames, commented: “I’m very glad that our Community Fund scheme gives us the opportunity to donate to invaluable charities like the Florence Nightingale Hospice. The care its nurses offer their patients is second to none, and its crucial that those facing life-limiting illnesses have access this level of support at the time when they need it most.”
