WILLOW Wood Hospice will receive a welcome boost to its funds and awareness after being named Ladysmith Shopping Centre’s Charity of the Year for 2024/25.
The partnership will run from April 2024 until the end of March 2025, giving the Ashton-based charity a chance to raise fundraise at the town centre shopping destination and spread the word about their services.
Willow Wood, on Mellor Road, provides specialist palliative care free-of-charge for adults with life-limiting illnesses, including both cancer and non-cancer diagnosis.
They will put on events, spanning seasonal occasions such as the summer holidays, festive period and Easter, at the shopping centre, with details to be posted on social media.
Ian Pratt, Centre Manager at Ladysmith Shopping Centre, is excited to kick off the
partnership and looks forward to seeing what can be achieved together.
He commented: “We are thrilled to partner with Willow Wood as our Charity of the Year
for 2024/25.
“Their unwavering commitment to providing comfort and support for people with life-limiting illnesses is unmatched, and we cannot wait to work with them and help support all the incredibly important work they do.”
