Ramble raises over £1000 for local hospice

Wrexham-based financial planners, Hadlow Edwards, recently presented local charity, Nightingale House Hospice, with a cheque for over £1000, following a fundraising ramble on the Sandstone Trail.

Hadlow Edwards’ marketing manager, Fiona Clarke handed over the collecting buckets and a cheque, following the company’s event, which took place in May 2024. Almost 50 staff, family members, and clients took part in the loop that included part of the Sandstone Trail, raising a combined total of £1004.71.

Commented Fiona Clarke: “We were blown away by the level of support we received for our latest fundraiser. So many people took part in what turned out to be a fun and entertaining day – and we were delighted by everyone’s generosity too. Following the walk, which was led by our director, Warren Hadlow, we had the opportunity to enjoy a well-earned drink and social at the Bickerton Poacher, which really rounded the day off well.”

Commented Sarah Povey, corporate partnership lead at Nightingale House: “We can’t thank the team at Hadlow Edwards enough for this fantastic donation. The ongoing support of companies like Hadlow Edwards is paramount to our ability to continue to offer our beneficiaries specialist palliative care they need. This is always delivered by a multi-disciplinary team trained and competent to meet the needs of all patients, including those with complex, specialist needs.”

The ramble was the latest fundraiser undertaken by the Hadlow Edwards team for Nightingale House, with previous fundraising including a 383 km cycle from Vietnam to Cambodia and a Spinathon in Wrexham city centre.

Nightingale House Hospice provides specialist palliative care services for those with life-limiting illnesses. Its services are completely free-of-charge, to patients and their families across its catchment area, stretching from Wrexham, Flintshire and East Denbighshire to Barmouth and the border towns including Oswestry and Whitchurch.
