Doncaster’s hospice has been given a £2,500 boost thanks to a community grant from a major mobility company.

The generous funding was granted by Enterprise Mobility after Team Member Shirley Donald, who works within the Business Management team supporting Enterprise Rent-a-Car, nominated St John’s Hospice in Balby.

Shirley said: “Enterprise Mobility invites colleagues to nominate local charities which support the communities where team members live and work.

“I nominated St John’s Hospice because I’ve experienced first-hand the wonderful care and support provided there, as they cared for both my father-in-law Roy Donald and best friend Andrea Ashton.”

She added: “My family does as much as possible to raise funds for the hospice charity to ensure it continues to provide the best possible palliative care and support – not just for the patient, but for the whole family, so I’m very grateful to Enterprise Mobility for granting this funding.”

Hospice Fundraising Manager Jenny Baynham said: “We need to raise over £500k every year to ensure we’re able to continue to support local patients and families with our specialist care.”

Adding: “On behalf of everyone at St John’s Hospice, I’d like to say a huge thank you to Shirley and Enterprise Mobility, we are extremely grateful for this wonderful donation.”

St John’s Hospice is run by the Rotherham Doncaster & South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) and it is part of its Your Hearts and Minds charity.
