Primrose Hospice Gift Wrapping Appeal

Our partnership with the Primrose Hospice fundraising team is one that has gone from strength to strength and each year we are always excited to welcome the team back into the centre for their gift wrapping appeal. 

Gabrielle Haines, Fundraiser at Primrose Hospice said: “Our Gift Wrapping Stall gives our community the chance to ditch the wrapping duties this year and support their local hospice.

Every year our gift wrapping stall raises over £1,000 for Primrose Hospice. This could pay for two weeks of Primrose Hospice at Home care, meaning patients living with life-limiting illnesses can be supported in the comfort of their own home and gives carers much needed respite.
