Royal Bank of Scotland Business Banking support staff visit Marlets hospice to handover cheque.
Staff at the Martlets in Hove welcomed a team from Royal Bank of Scotland Business Banking Support to the hospice last week to present the hospice staff with a cheque for £3048.20.
Lyndsey Bond, from RBS Business Support, said: “Our team chose the Martlets at the beginning of 2012 as so many of the staff at RBS have been personally involved with the Hospice, they worked hard to raise funds by holding cake bakes, car washing , sports days and a monthly dress down event. Staff have also given up hours of their time to help sort donations in the Furniture Warehouse and clear the car park. It’s been such a popular cause the team have decided to continue supporting the Martlets for another two years!”
Elizabeth Baxter, from Martlets Hospice, added: “Thank you so much to all the staff at Royal Bank of Scotland who have worked so hard to raise such an amazing amount of money for Martlets Hospice and our patients. This is vital money to fund our care for local people and a donation of this magnitude will fund a bed in our In-Patient Unit for 8 days or it will pay for one of our Hospice at Home nurses to care for patients in their own homes for 22 days. The hard work and support of Royal Bank of Scotland staff is therefore helping many people in our local community and the money they have raised will be very well spent on the patients in our care.”
