Ways to offer your support

commercial offers

A number of local businesses operate schemes which benefit St Raphael’s Hospice.

All will vary slightly, but in essence if you use that business for buy the goods or services offered, they will make a contribution to St Raphael’s Hospice.

The amount of the contribution is agreed and defined between the hospice and each company individually, and that is set out and clear. The Hospice has what is called a “Commercial Participators Agreement” with each business that does this, as required by The Charity Act 2006.

Please use the businesses listed here. We are grateful for their support.

 

When Purdy’s have given you a quote, and you accept it for your removal, they will ask for two cheques. One to the firm for 95% of the cost. The other payable to St Raphael’s Hospice for 5% of the cost as a donation to the hospice, and will also ask you to “Gift Aid” that donation, which adds an extra 28% to it at no extra cost to you (if you pay UK income Tax or Capital Gains Tax).

We thank Graham Purdy, who has been supporting St Raphael’s Hospice for some years and in this way has raised over £6,000 plus the value of Gift Aid, so a total in the region of £7,000.


SOLICITORS FOR WILL WRITING

We operate an annual “Make your Will Fortnight” in May of each year.

But outside that period there are 12 local solicitors who have agreed to donate 10% of their normal fee to St Raphael’s Hospice if you ask them to draw up your Will. Please ensure you mention St Raphael’s Hospice when you call, and say you wish them to make your will under the “All year round 5% scheme.
