LEASING BROKER LENDS BACKING TO HOSPICE

A multi award-winning car and van leasing firm has thrown its weight behind a charity that provides vital specialist palliative care services for south Northamptonshire, for the fourth year in a row.

Silverstone Fleet Management has once again named fellow Chamber member Cynthia Spencer Hospice as its chosen Charity of the Year.

Over the years, it has raised over £4,000 for the Hospice through family fun days, sponsored marathons, the Cycle4Cynthia fundraiser and last year’s #SilverstoneSoccer football tournament for businesses and #SingForCynthia campaign on LinkedIn. In 2021, the firm aims to raise £2,000.

Silverstone Fleet Management managing director Scott Norville said: “Cynthia Spencer Hospice needs to raise nearly £1.5m – that’s over £4,000, a day – to continue to provide and improve the services it offers. It plays such an important role in the lives of families in Northamptonshire and we’re proud to support it and give back to the community.”

Cynthia Spencer Hospice corporate partnerships fundraiser, Nina Gandy, added: “Silverstone Fleet Management’s support enables our patients and their families to continue to be supported as these strange times continue.”

GIVE BACK TO STUDENTS
