Property firm raises £5,000 for hospice
A Bath firm has successfully raised thousands of pounds for local charity Dorothy House Hospice Care. HPH Commercial Property has been raising money for the charity over the last 12 months, after choosing it as the company’s charity of the year. Staff at the company, based on Kingsmead Square, have completed a range of fundraising activities for the hospice, which cares for people with life-limiting illnesses. The team at HPH raised more than £5,000 for Dorothy House including match funding from the company through events such as Bike Bath, where a team of 12 pedalled exhaustively to help raise funds. Lindsay Holdoway, managing director of HPH Ltd, said: “As a company, we are pleased to have raised such a significant amount of money for this important local charity. “Many of our lives have been touched by the work of Dorothy House and we know that many more will. “It is an amazing place and we are very fortunate to have such a leading hospice in this area. Although we will be supporting another charity next year we will continue to support Dorothy House and the work it does to provide end of life care for patients and support for their loved ones and carers.” Corporate fundraiser for Dorothy House Henrietta Beard said: “The fundraising work by Lindsay and the team at HPH Ltd has been fantastic over the past year and the keen cyclists amongst them have raised significant funds by participating in the perennially excellent local event, Bike Bath. “Moreover, the matchfunding contribution by HPH will make a massive difference to the overall total raised and I am absolutely delighted with their support. “I wish them the best of luck with their new chosen charity who are very lucky to have HPH on board.”
