Get to know our Fundraisers
Steve Simpson, Team Leader, has been fundraising with Local Hospice Lottery for about 3 years. Steve had worked in fundraising with national charities for a long time but relishes the opportunity to help raise money for his local hospice, a cause that is close to his heart. His favourite thing about the job is talking to lots of different and interesting people. When Steve isn’t busy explaining the benefits of playing the Local Hospice Lottery, he loves to ride his bike, play golf, and support Leeds United – but we won’t hold that against him!
Mark Bowen has been working with Local Hospice Lottery for over a year. Mark enjoys his job because, “I like helping people, and what better way to help my local hospice directly. Plus, the Lottery is not-for-profit, so the money raised goes where it is needed.” When Mark isn’t working, he loves spending time with family, playing golf and listening to old vinyl records.
If you see Mark, Steve or any of our official Local Hospice Lottery fundraisers in your local area, please say hello. And remember, you’ll know they are official fundraisers for Rotherham Hospice by their ID cards and uniform.
