Strategic Partnerships
Become one of our unique strategic partners and work together with us for mutual success.
Working with the Hospice in a long-term strategic relationship will help your company engage more effectively with customers and staff, increase awareness within the local community and make an impact on your sales.
The Local Partnership that Cares
We are delighted to launch the ‘Every Home is Precious’ partnership with Aitchisons combining our work in caring and supporting people and their families living with a life-limiting illness with an established residential agency which has always played an active part in their local community and who will make a donation for new sole agency instructions.
Aitchisons has been a strong supporter of the charity for several years and has now committed to helping it to increase awareness of its work and to generate much needed funds for running the Hospice.
Proud to back The Hospice of St Francis, launching a partnership with Every Home is Precious. Shared community goals unite us. We are all looking forward to progressing with the new initiatives.

Promotions & Gifts in kind
Gifts in kind can save the Hospice an incredible amount of money, and often reduce our operating and event expenses.
You can help by donating equipment, food, services or expertise or even allowing us access to a venue free of charge.
We are always looking for items that we may be able to use as tombola, raffle or auction prizes for fundraising events held throughout the year.
Did you know?
Donations of goods or equipment - A company can get tax relief if they donate items that they would normally sell. If you give items to the Hospice, they are not counted as a sale, so your company can get tax relief on the cost of the article.
Volunteering - If employees are volunteering during work time, the company can claim tax relief for the employment costs incurred (employee’s salary). The company needs to treat the costs as a business expense when calculating chargeable profits for Corporation Tax purposes.
Lease with Vanarama or Motorama and support the Hospice
Our friends at Vanarama and Motorama understand that helping the community is just as important as offering great lease deals on personal and commercial vehicles – that’s why they commit a lot of time and money to several charities across the country including The Hospice of St Francis.
But did you know that every time you lease a vehicle from Vanarama and Motorama and quote reference ‘HOSPICE200’, they will donate £200 to us?
Whether you’re looking for your next dream car, or a commercial vehicle for your business, not only will you be getting yourself a great deal, you’ll be helping us to help people live their precious lives well.

Matched and Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is one of the easiest and most flexible ways to give to The Hospice of St Francis.
All your employees’ donations are sent directly to a Payroll Giving Agency (PGA) who will handle the transfer of funds directly to the Hospice.
This makes it easy for your staff to support us in the most highly tax efficient manner.
It is the only way of giving to charity that allows full tax relief on donations, and there are virtually no set-up costs.
