Edinburgh Asset Managers Support Partnership
S
cotland’s Hospices Together is a partnership of 12 independent Scottish hospices. Together the Partnership care for over 20,000 families in Scotland each year, offering free palliative and end of life care when it is needed most. The pandemic has had an impact on the Partnership members’ capability to
run fundraising events, keep charity shops open, run workplace volunteering initiatives and engage with local supporters in their communities. So, the members were delighted when Edinburgh-based Baillie Gifford, global specialists in asset management and investment trusts, offered
the Partnership a funding boost of £1 million. It has made a huge difference, helping members plan and deliver the best possible care for the patients and families they care for.
