Home help! Tenants aid St Clare’s
SUPPORT ... tenants from Glenthorpe House present a cheque to St Clares fundraiser, Vanessa Mustard-Wright.
TENANTS have given St Clare’s Hospice a fundraising boost.
Fundraisers at Glenthorpe House, South Shields, handed over a £100 cheque to the Jarrow hospice after raising money through activities including social evenings, coffee mornings and raffles.
Tenant Elizabeth Smith said: “It is very important to support St Clare’s, as they make such a huge difference to people’s lives.”
Frederick Burr added: “We hope this donation makes a difference to the lives of people being cared for in the hospice and we would like to support St Clare’s again in the future.”
Vanessa Mustard-Wright, corporate fundraiser for St Clare’s Hospice, said: “We were very touched to receive a cheque from the tenants at Glenthorpe House.
“They have raised a fantastic amount, which enables us to continue providing specialist palliative care to our patients when they need it most.
“We are celebrating our 25th anniversary throughout this year, and hope others will follow the example shown by the tenants.”
South Tyneside Homes, which manages the supported housing scheme in West Stevenson Street, became a corporate partner with St Clare’s Hospice in 2009.
Since then, staff and tenants have come together to raise almost £13,000 through events including sponsored bike rides and car boot sales.
