Martlets Hospice receives £1,625 to fund two beds for partners and family members of terminally ill patients in Brighton.
The donation was made by the Santander Foundation which offers grants to UK registered charities for projects that help disadvantaged people in local communities.
The Martlets Hospice provides end of life care services to adults with terminal illness including cancer. The grant will purchase two beds for partners and other visitors to be able to spend the night on the InPatient Unit.
Imelda Glackin, CEO at Martlets Hospice, said: “We are very grateful to the Santander Foundation for donating these much-needed funds to support our charity. The Martlets Hospice provides end of life care to adults in Brighton and Hove and gives support to their families. We would also like to thank everyone who supported our appeal for funds and especially members of the LGBT community who voted for us at Brighton Pride.”
Adam Wilkins Local Business Manager at Santander’s Brighton branch, said: “The Santander Foundation makes hundreds of donations every year to good causes throughout the UK. Our branch is committed to playing a key part in the community and we are delighted to be supporting The Martlets Hospice, and hope the donation makes a real difference to local people.”
