Sky high fundraising

If you would like to experience the thrill of a lifetime while raising money to support Rotherham Hospice’s vital services, you have until the end of August to sign up for the next Sky Dive in October.
Sporting support
The Hospice would like the thank Adam Fletcher of Flex Residential, who raised over £5.5k by holding his annual Charity Golf Day at Sitwell Park Golf Club, and John Breckin, Rotherham United Football Club and Wickersley Old Village Cricket Club, who hosted their annual charity cricket match, raising over £7.5k for Rotherham Hospice.
Burrows Toyota donates a car
If you know anything about Rotherham Hospice, you’ll know that community nurses are an essential part of their care. Bringing their care to your door is not an easy task, which is why a car is so important to help carry out the vital work they do.
Due to the amazing generosity of Burrows Toyota, Rotherham Hospice doesn’t have to worry!
On 18th July, Burrows donated a new car to the Rotherham Hospice Community Team to help them provide care to Rotherham families in their own homes. Burrows has been a supporter of the Hospice for over five years, donating cars each year so community nurses can continue their vital work.
The impact on the community team was immediate and positive. “Knowing we have a modern, reliable car available for nursing staff to visit patients in their homes is a massive help,” says Jayne Lowe, Deputy Director of Clinical Services at Rotherham Hospice. “Everyone in the Community team would like to thank Burrows on behalf of the Hospice, our patients and their families for their continuing support.”
As a charity-run hospice, Rotherham Hospice only receives half its funding from the government and needs to fundraise £3million each year. Donations from local businesses such as Burrows Toyota ensures they can keep serving the people of Rotherham for years to come.
