“The amount of work that the Hospice’s army of staff and volunteers do throughout the North East is astounding. They provide support for hundreds of patients and their families, which is absolutely crucial during the difficult times associated with serious illness.“I’m proud of the amount of money we have been able to help the Hospice raise over the past few years. The region’s people always come out in force to support this fantastic organisation’s work and I hope we can raise even more this year.”
James Ellam, chief executive of St Oswald’s added: “We’re grateful to have the support of Vertu Motors. The company has been a fantastic and generous partner over the years and I hope we can continue this great working relationship for many years to come.
