Hospice partners strike gold

BIANCA MURRAY AN estate agents has been recognised as a gold ‘corporate partner’ by Rossendale Hospice in honour of their fundraising efforts.

Anneka Vines, area manager of Keenans Estate Agents and who lives in the Valley, got in touch with Rossendale Hospice and asked how Keenans could help and get involved.

Following a visit to the Hospice, 13 members of the company took part in the Firewalk challenge in March - raising £851.80.

They have since ●● Shaunna Nuttall (left) from Keenans estate agents and Alison Whittaker-Stewart from Rossendale Hospice generously offered to sponsor the cost of producing 10,000 penny pinching boxes, saving the Hospice a sizeable £1,650.

Their support has earned them recognition as a gold ‘Corporate Partner’.

Alison WhittakerStewart, fundraising and marketing manager, said: “It was so great to be approached by Keenans Estate Agents.

“There are many ways companies can support the Hospice. Keenans have a box in their Bank Street office and wanted to support our penny pinching appeal and the Inter-Schools Penny Pinching Challenge which takes place annually in September, initiatives which raised £18,900 last year.” AK Brows, Angela Kays Beauty Salon, 46 Warner St, Accrington, BB5 1HN facebook.com/akbrows | www.akbrows.com | 07813 195 888
