Strawberry supports Dove House with free design services

Posted on Tags: Supporting

We are pleased to announce that Strawberry has become the official Dove House design agency for 2010. We are supporting Dove House by offering our graphic design services free of charge for the rest of the year and are encouraging other local businesses to do the same.

Jonathan Leafe, Managing Director of Strawberry explains:

“We have raised funds and worked with Dove House for many years, and have always offered our services free of charge. At the beginning of this year, we decided to make the relationship official and encouraged them to bring all of their design work to us.

“The work that Dove House does for the local community is fantastic and more businesses should think about the ways in which they can be supportive by offering their services and expertise for free. The hospice relies on the goodwill and hard work of fund raisers from the local area and we are keen to do our part to ensure this money isn’t used on promotional design work.”

Lorraine Pritchard, Director of Human Resources comments:

“We are delighted with the work Strawberry has completed for us. They have helped us to free up some valuable money that can be directed to other parts of the hospice. We receive fantastic support from the local community and it’s always a big help when businesses offer their support. We will be working closely with Strawberry for the rest of the year and hope to appoint a new agency at the start of 2011.”

Dove House provides care for those in the local community with life-limiting illnesses. They are specialists in palliative care for people with a wide range of illnesses. There is no charge for the care Dove House provides, therefore the hospice relies on donations from the local community and support from the local primary Care Trusts. Dove House is currently aiming to raise an additional £2.5M in funds through the ‘Love You 2’ appeal, to complete an extensive re-development of the hospice site at Chamberlain Road.
