Corporate Corner

We've been overwhelmed by the generosity of our corporate community throughout the last six months. Support has included company donations, staff fundraising and gifts for both patients and staff – all have been gratefully received!

Our charity partner Mackenzie Hughes’ donation of £1,000 has helped us to purchase new mattresses for patient’s beds and new branded uniforms for our clinical teams.

Perfect Clean ran an Easter raffle raising £300.

Amazon (pictured opposite) fulfilled our patient wish list by giving clothing and toiletries. Asda in Leith donated Christmas presents and Easter eggs for our patients to enjoy.

John Lewis helped make our gardens look festive and sparkly with a gift of Christmas lights as well as gift bags filled with treats for the patients. Strawberry Corner Garden Centre’s donation of plants for the Hospice gardens will bring cheer to everyone once they bloom! Thanks to Robert Gill, Head of Visitor Experience at The Royal Yacht Britannia for the 200 Christmas puddings gifted to the hospice, a treat for all the patients and staff. Instead of buying Christmas cards, Drummond Miller LLP donated the money they would have spent to us, a fantastic £1,000. Unable to hold their usual fundraising firework night

Huge thanks to all the companies who have donated to us over the past 6 months, Anglia Giving, Montpelier’s, Egger Company, Adobe, Take Two Interactive Software Inc., Easy Jet, Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP , Virgin Money , Johnson Matthey, Urquharts Law and Property, Scotrail, Goldman Sachs and all the staff at Boots Ocean Terminal.

Our charity partner Ocean Terminal became the venue for our Christmas Elf Hunt, a little bit of festive family fun throughout December whilst raising funds for the Hospice. Fiona, one of our Iona Cafe volunteers, chopped 12 inches off her hair to raise money for the Hospice whilst donating her hair to Little Princess Trust. Fiona’s employer, Adobe, sponsored her to the value of £350.

A generous donation of $20,000 from Adobe has gone towards our new Hospice at Home services.
