Rotherham United FC proudly support the Hospice
Rotherham United proudly supports local Hospice
In an inspiring act of community spirit, Rotherham United Football Club has unveiled its new 23/24 season official football kit, with Rotherham Hospice taking centre stage!
Rotherham United Commercial Director Steve Coakley explains:
“For the forthcoming 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship campaign we were determined to look at doing something different, innovative and community-based because we felt that best represented what Rotherham United is all about.”
Several local businesses came together to form the Diamond Partnership, which funded the sponsorship deal, allowing Rotherham Hospice to reach thousands more people at no cost to the Hospice. Read more about the Diamond Partnership here.
Rotherham Hospice Director of Income Generation Stephen King adds:
“What makes this even more special is the support of the local businesses who have made this possible. Their generosity means that it will be the Rotherham Hospice sunflower logo sitting proudly on that famous red shirt. The exposure Rotherham Hospice will receive next season is incredible.
Everyone connected to Rotherham Hospice would like to thank Rotherham United for their unbelievable support.
This partnership will not only have a huge impact on our patients, families, volunteers, and staff, it will bring the people of Rotherham together in support of their Hospice.”
Rotherham Hospice Deputy Clinical Director Jayne Lowe is keen to explain how having Rotherham Hospice so visible helps:
“Many people may not know what services are available to them when they find themselves or a relative or friend experiencing an end-of-life illness. By having Rotherham Hospice front & centre on the RUFC shirts, we can let people know we exist and are here to help!
The difference hospice care makes to people’s lives is amazing.
Hospice care is all about making the most of the time you have left. Our community nurses help people stay in their own homes wherever possible, and our In-Patient nurses help with symptom management and giving families a peaceful, calm place to spend time together. All of this we provide free of charge, but only with help from of our amazing supporters like Rotherham United FC!”
Rotherham Hospice would like to thank RUFC Chairman Tony Stewart & Honorary Life-Time President John Breckin for keeping the Hospice and the Rotherham people close to heart, Commercial Director Steve Coakley for all your hard work in getting this done, all the Diamond Partnership businesses who contributed financially to make it happen and every Miller fan who has helped the Hospice throughout the years.
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.
