Connecting your business
Here at St Mary’s Hospice, we believe that partnerships with local businesses can be an extremely effective thing to do — not only for the good of our patients and their families, but for your employees and local community.
Our local business community plays a vital role in helping St Mary’s continue to provide compassionate care and support to people across our community when they need it most.
The generosity of businesses, organisations and supporters is essential in helping us raise the fund we need each year. Whether you are a small family firm or a large organisation, there are lots of ways to get involved and make a positive difference.
From charity of the year arrangements and fundraising challenges, through to sponsorship and payroll giving — we will help you find the best solution for your staff engagement, values and goals. Donating to St Mary’s is not just giving something back financially, but also a chance to make your team feel good, boost staff morale, and demonstrate your company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Join Our Compassionate Companies Network
At St Mary’s Hospice, we know that when local people and businesses come together, we can achieve incredible things. Our Compassionate Communities Network celebrates and connects organisations who support our work, helping us provide free, specialist care and emotional support to people across Furness and the South Lakes. By joining, you’ll be part of a community making a real difference, today and for the future.
Volunteering Opportunities For Your Team
We also offer volunteer opportunities for groups who want to give back in a practical way, whether it’s helping at an event, donating professional expertise, or giving a day of gardening to our hospice gardens.
Every pound you fundraise stays right here within our community, assisting patients and their families during their time of need.
