Wessex Group has donated £5,000 to Marie Curie, the UK’s leading end-of-life charity, following a year of dedicated fundraising efforts. Each year, employees of the Shaftesbury-based company select a charity to support, committing 12 months to raising funds through a variety of initiatives – including challenges, bake sales and the company’s annual Christmas raffle.
The donation was presented to a Marie Curie representative, marking another successful year of fundraising for Wessex Group, which has a long-standing commitment to supporting both local and national charities. Tracey Martin at Wessex Group said: ‘We are delighted to support Marie Curie and contribute to the incredible work they do. Our teams have come together to raise funds in a variety of ways, and it has been inspiring to see the generosity and enthusiasm from our staff.’
Over the years, Wessex Group has supported numerous charities, including local organisations such as The Brave and Determined Company, who provide access to essential counselling services, and BooBs, Shaftesbury’s breast cancer awareness charity. Kara Frampton at Marie Curie expressed gratitude for the donation, saying: ‘We are incredibly grateful for Wessex Group’s support. These funds will help us continue to provide essential care and support to those who need it most.’
Marie Curie provides vital end-of-life care, offering nursing services, hospice care, bereavement support, and information services to people living with terminal illness and their families.
Wessex Group, based in Shaftesbury, has been providing expert trade services for over 60 years, offering fire and security, electrical, building, and maintenance services across the South of England.
