Corporate Support
Working together
We simply couldn’t continue offering the range of care and support to our patients and their families without the generosity of the businesses in our community who choose to support us.
Working with St Michael’s Hospice can bring many benefits to your organisation, from increased brand awareness and press coverage to staff development and an introduction to new audiences.
St Michael’s Hospice is a well-established local charity at the heart of the community: many people in Herefordshire, people like your employees and customers, know of someone who has been cared for at the Hospice.
By supporting St Michael’s Hospice, your business is demonstrating its commitment to the important work we do, and is directly helping sustain our services.
Whatever way you decide to support St Michael’s Hospice, we are incredibly grateful for your contribution to the work we do.
