The Diamond Partners Shine a Light on Rotherham Hospice
The Diamond Partners making a big difference to hospice care in Rotherham
In June 2023 6 local businesses came together to form the Diamond Partners. In an inspiring act of community spirit AESSEAL, Mears, SteelPhalt, Equisolve, Hughie Construction and IPM Group put Rotherham Hospice on Rotherham United Football Club‘s official 23/24 season football kit.
Rotherham Hospice Director of Income Generation Stephen King explains the difference the Diamond Partners have had 4 months on:
The impact of the partnership has been huge. Rotherham Hospice has never had so much exposure in the local area. We are finding that conversations about the charity are a lot easier to have with businesses and supporters, as most are now aware of who we are and what we do.
Another huge benefit of this partnership is the increase in corporate support over the past few months. We have had several companies invest in sponsorship opportunities for various events including Light Up A Life & the Christmas Fair. We have also seen an increase in the amount of companies that want to support us as their Charity of the Year.
Everyone at the Hospice is grateful to the Diamond Partners for making this happen. The level of publicity we have received as a result has been something we could not possible have achieved by ourselves.
The number of heart-warming comments supporting the initiative was overwhelming and clearly shows the unfaltering community spirit that Rotherham United fans have for Rotherham Hospice and their local community.
Increased awareness and the support that has brought means we can care for more local families at a time it matters most. So far this year:
Why your support matters
Rotherham Hospice cares for families experiencing an end-of-life illness, both physically and emotionally. As a charity, Rotherham Hospice needs to raise £3 million each year to fund vital end-of-life services and we can only do it thanks to our amazing supporters like you.
Thank you!
