Saint Michael's Hospice has been backed with a four-figure equipment grant from developer the Banks Group.
The £1,700 Banks Group grant will cover the average cost of the essential disposable medical supplies that the hospice uses every month, including needles, syringes, cannulation equipment, dressings, tape, sterilising wipes and foam wash, as well as batteries to power equipment such as syringe drivers.
“We achieved our goal of supporting 50% more individuals in 2024, even amid significant financial pressures, and we're already on track to meet and exceed that milestone again this year"
He added:
“With our charity mostly powered by donations and fundraising, we’re very grateful to the Banks Group.
"Support from our community is so important for us to continue to be there for those who need us and reach more people in the future.”
Saint Michael’s HOME service offers practical, social and emotional support to help people who wish to stay at home live with confidence, independence and dignity.
The Banks Group’s community funds are independently managed by Point North.
Anyone from a community close to a Banks Group project who is interested in applying for funding from the Banks Community Fund should contact the company via its website enquiry form (www.banksgroup.co.uk/contact-us/) to find out if their group or project is eligible.
