A TREAT FULL OF FEET!!!

SLATTERY CHOCOLATE FEET

EAT YOUR WAY TO A NEW HOSPICE

As you know the Capital Appeal is well under way pledging the public to donate to the New Hospice. But with Christmas in the pipeline we know and understand how difficult it is to donate at such an expensive and stressful time of year.

 

Famous for his delightful skill in producing the finest chocolate, John Slattery has kindly offered to team up with the campaign to build a New Hospice - designing delicious chocolate feet for all!

 

The 19.5cm x 9.5cm milk chocolate foot also includes your name to be filled in and placed on the New Bury Hospices footfall Wall of Fame, as not only would you have purchased a chocoloate foot but also a foot of the New Bury Hospice - Brilliant!!

 

The chocolate feet will be priced at £15, remember that it costs £12 to buy a foot of the New Hospice so for an extra £3 thats a rather tasty treat for you and a lot of money going to a good cause!

 

For further information about availability and where you can purchase the Slattery milk chocolate feet from please do not hesitate to contact us on 0161 763 1545. Thank you for continuing to support the current Hospice as well as the new.

INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE

The campaign is now in full-swing with a variety of options in how to donate! People are finding it much easier to donate to the Hospice by phoning in, filling out or standing order forms, posting us cheques or even popping into our Charity Shops & donating cash.

Whatever your reasons, you care and you are showing your support by thinking of the people at the Hospice as well as your loved ones! If you donate £12 you can buy a foot of the New Bury Hospice and your name will go on the Footfall Wall of Fame!

So who else are we sending this message to? Businesses in and around Bury have shown their support to the Hospice for many years and have continued to do so, making the target a more achievable goal. They have helped out with fundraising events, chosen us to be their 'adopted' charity and even made one-off donations to help with the cost.

Why your business should get involved! The Director of Fundraising Claire Warner says:

Choosing Bury Hospice as a charity partner is a great way of showing your support. It shows that your company is willing to go above and beyond the normal call of duty to support the local community.

Every penny donated by your company will help provide the essential elements needed to keep the Hospice in working order. Previous Hospices have encouraged businesses to pledge for rooms, reception areas, technical equipment - whatever the preference may be.

Bury Hospice has 27 available rooms ranging between £17,000 - £156,000! If you would like to enquire further about any of the above; whether it be setting up your own event, fundraising ideas, or more details about how your business could help please do not hesitate to contact us!
We look forward to speaking to you soon,

yours sincerely,

Ruth Lane
