GOING THE EXTRA MILE FOR ST JOHN ’ S HOSPICE
» STAFF AT WINDOW WARE DID NOT let the coronavirus pandemic stop them going the extra mile for Sue Ryder St John ’ s Hospice in Moggerhanger last year . The Bedfordbased market-leading hardware distributor managed to raise an amazing £ 1,571.64 for its nominated charity , which provides vital expert care for life-limiting conditions . Window Ware also donated much-needed PPE to the hospice , including face masks and hand sanitiser .
Sam Nuckey , the award-winning company ’ s Managing Director , said : “ The pandemic cancelled many fundraising events and caused a drastic drop in donations , which meant we had to get a bit more creative about how we could support Sue Ryder St . John ’ s Hospice .
“ It was vital that we helped to keep their doctors , nurses , carers and specialists on the frontline and I ’ d like to thank all our team who carried on giving and quietly did their bit to support the hospice when they needed help more than ever .”
Hayley Webb , Sue Ryder ’ s Community fundraising Manager , said : “ Everyone at Sue Ryder St . John ’ s Hospice would like to thank Window Ware for their fantastic support to help make a difference to local patients and their families .”
