Shropshire care company links up with Severn Hospice as annual charity of choice
Home care provider Bluebird Care Shropshire has announced that Severn Hospice will be its annual charity of choice for 2023.
Bluebird Care Shropshire delivers care to people across the county to help them to live independent lives in the comfort of their own homes.
The team has also earned a reputation for charity work, going above and beyond to make sure that organisations and groups across the Shropshire community are supported.
With 2023 on the horizon, Bluebird Care Shropshire has selected Severn Hospice as its annual charity of choice. The CQC-rated ‘Good’ home care provider team will be helping with a range of fundraising and community events throughout the year.
To begin this new chapter of their relationship, the team at Bluebird Care Shropshire recently had the chance to enjoy a selection of training courses including end-of-life care for social care staff from Severn Hospice.
They also received a tour of the hospice, including a visit to the café, Refresh, which is open to not only family members of patients, but the public too.
The home care provider has previously supported Severn Hospice, which provides specialist care and support to families across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales, with events.
This has included the Pontesbury Potter, which is set to return once again in March 2023 and the new Fire Walk Challenge taking place in February.
Sue Barlow, business development officer at Bluebird Care Shropshire, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting Severn Hospice once again. As a fellow provider of care to people in the community, we are well-aware of the incredible difference the hospice makes in the lives of so many across the region.
“We are all looking forward to 2023, where we will be bringing forward some fantastic community events from coffee mornings, bake-offs, raffles and much more, all with the aim of raising vital funds which enables Severn Hospice to continue delivering their services.”
Thanking Bluebird Care Shropshire for their support, Tracie Harrison, director of income generation at Severn Hospice, added: “I am so pleased that Bluebird Care Shropshire have chosen us again and to know everyone there is looking forward to supporting us once more.
“People always tell us how much fun they have getting involved in fundraising, especially when they’re doing it as a group or through work, and I love hearing about their exploits and to know they have had a great time doing something wonderful for their community.
“We have to raise £2 for every £3 we spend so the support from everyone at Bluebird Care Shropshire will make a real difference to the families we care for every day.”
