Tax and accountancy firm Bishop Fleming has pledged to help a hospice to continue its vital work for adults and their families with life-limiting illnesses in Gloucestershire.
Longfield Community Hospice, which offers free care and relies heavily on its network of volunteers, will receive a boost of £7,500 from the Cheltenham-based firm.
Dedicating the next 12 months to Longfield as its charity partner, the staff at Bishop Fleming aim to donate a percentage of turnover as well as raising many thousands of pounds with an array of activities.
They include a charity skydive, an inflatable 5K run, the Ale Amble charity walk through Stroud along with many other initiatives to help raise important funds to support the charity's free care to Gloucestershire patients.
Longfield was set up more than 35 years ago and offers end-of-life care and support from its wellbeing centre in Minchinhampton.
A whopping 85 per cent of the charity's income comes from donations and fundraising initiatives.
Kirsty Murray, senior fundraising manager at Longfield Community Hospice, said: 'We are thrilled to partner with Bishop Fleming as their charity of the year.
'Its responsible business ethos aligns perfectly with our mission, and the firm's support will enable us to continue caring and supporting those living with a life-limiting condition throughout Gloucestershire. We look forward to working with them in the coming year.'
David Butler, Cheltenham office lead partner at Bishop Fleming, said: 'We are delighted to have selected Longfield Community Hospice as our charity of the year. The work it does is so valuable and its unwavering dedication to the local community is truly inspiring.
'We are eager to support its vital work and through our joint fundraising activities, we hope to make a meaningful difference, helping them to continue to provide their vital services.'
