It is only through the generosity of those in the community, including local businesses, that Dove House can provide its specialist care to so many families across Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. We are incredibly grateful to one such organisation, Willerby Ltd, who are long-term supporters of the hospice. Staff have previously taken on a variety of fundraising challenges, including an annual sponsored bike ride, helping to raise over £20,000 in the process.
 
This year, we were proud to welcome them as an event sponsor at our Get Caked event, with 10 staff members amongst the 500 participants at Sledmere House.
 
Speaking about their motivation to support, Willerby Ltd’s Director of People, Susan Pender, said:
 
“We are proud to be supporting such an incredible local charity. Get Caked has offered us a great opportunity for members of the team from across the company to tackle five muddy miles together. All while raising money and awareness for the amazing work Dove House Hospice does.”
 
Reflecting on the ongoing generosity of Willerby Ltd, Dove House Hospice’s Senior Fundraiser, Jethro Shearring, said:
 
“The thoughtfulness of all at Willerby Ltd has had a significant impact on the care provided at the hospice. We were delighted to welcome staff to our Get Caked event and to Willerby ltd for so kindly providing sponsorship that provided a crucial role in offsetting costs, maximising every pound raised.”
