Butcher & Barlow raises £1555 for The Bury Hospice

Team members from our Head Office in Bury laced up their running shoes to take part in the Bury 10k to raise money for local charity, The Bury Hospice.

Taking place in October, Kevan Hankinson, Phyllis Templeman, Trish Lyon, Paula Pierce, Laura Cuddy and Imogen Wonders all completed the Bury 10k. Despite damp conditions on the day, it didn’t stop our team crossing the finish line in commendable time.

The Bury Hospice, whose services include a specialist 24 hour inpatient unit, medical and respite facilities, complementary therapies, family bereavement support, and a dedicated community outreach team provides invaluable end-of-life care and support to their patients and their families. With some of the team members having experienced first-hand the incredible support provided by the Bury Hospice for their relatives, we understand how valuable the work they do and the services they provide is.

Through the teams fundraising efforts £1555 was presented to the Hospice, and the team had the privilege of placing a heart on the Spirit Wall to mark their donation.

We would like to congratulate all those who took part, and thank everyone who sponsored our team members.
