Corporate Partners

We believe this is a clear demonstration of each company's commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility through supporting a local charity that benefits the community.

Support of this kind is extremely valuable to Butterwick Hospice in our efforts to raise the funding required to meet the cost of services which the Charity provides freely to adults and children across the region.

The Companies listed on this page and featured in the Corporate Partners section of our website have raised tens of thousands of pounds for Butterwick Hospice Care.

Where Does Our Funding Come From?

• The remainder comes from fundraising activities

General fundraising is a constant activity; we receive a much smaller percentage of legacies in comparison to other hospices nationally as we serve less affluent areas. Historically we have relied heavily on our communities for support.

We are now looking to build stronger partnerships with the corporate sector to help ensure the Hospice is there for future generations.
