Fundraising is managed by the Head of Fundraising and Communications, Kate Bamford (right). She is assisted by Allison Allen, Fundraising and Communications Co-ordinator (left). Jo Sweby (centre) is Grants and Trusts Fundraising Manager.
They are supported by a regular team of volunteers.
Alli and Kate work together with a team of dedicated volunteers, to raise over £650,000 needed annually to run our free services. This is raised in many ways; we hold challenging and inspiring events throughout the year and are also lucky enough to receive donations from local groups, clubs, schools and legacies from individuals and families. Shipston Home Nursing also receives a modest grant from the NHS. This recognises the support we provide in reducing hospital admissions and providing patients with choices for end of life care.
With your support, we can continue to make a difference in our local community. We are always keen to get involved in fundraising events and challenges to help us raise valuable funds. If you would like to fundraise or volunteer for Shipston Home Nursing, please contact Kate and Allison by emailing fundraising@shipstonhomenursing.co.uk.
