It was a great effort by so many people. There were some outstanding amounts raised, but the awards recognised everybody’s contribution – not just those who raised the most money, but also the company’s that took on board the ethos and won engagement from wider audience.”

Ian Clarkson Company Director at West Craven, said: “We’re really proud to have raised much needed funds for Pendleside Hospice and taken part in such a brilliant initiative. To have so many businesses involved not only raise much needed funds, but also engage lots of people locally and raise awareness of the vitally important work of the Hospice and the fact that they touch so many lives in a really positive way. Most of us have at some point experienced friends or family with life-limiting illnesses and it’s both humbling and inspiring to see the amazing support for people that is provided by our wonderful hospice.”

Christina Cope, from Pendleside Hospice, added: “We’re really grateful to have had a number of prominent local businesses like West Craven Insurance taking part in the challenge and getting so much commitment from all their members of staff.

“As well as raising much needed funds for Pendleside Hospice, the Corporate Challenge benefits the businesses taking part though providing team-building opportunities, inter-departmental working, publicity and a contribution to the company’s Corporate and Social Responsibility efforts. They also know that they’ve made a huge contribution to the continued work the hospice does in helping people living with a life-limiting illnesses.”
