Nash raises over £20,000 for St Luke's Plymouth

Plymouth law firm Nash & Co has got off to a flying start in its long-term commitment to St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth.

The firm has made a five-year fundraising pledge to St Luke’s, which includes corporate sponsorship of the Midnight Walk until 2020, has handed over a cheque for £21,881.91.

The amount is the total of all monies raised for St Luke’s during 2016, from events which have become annual fixtures such as its Charity Golf Day, the Nash Bake-Off, St Luke’s Make A Will Week, and the pre-Christmas Nash Bash, as well as new fundraisers such as a Family Fun Day, and a month of Festive Fridays.

Nash employees also participated in several sponsored events over the year, such as the St Luke’s Midnight Walk, The Plymouth 10K race, and a very daring Wing Walk!

Corporate Fundraiser at St Luke's Nicola Keen said:

"Our thanks go to Nash & Co for their tremendous support last year. It is fantastic to be working alongside a local firm who have such a strong focus on community support. Every member of staff has gone above and beyond in their fundraising efforts to help raise money for St Luke's. Without this support we would not be able to continue to deliver end of life care to people in our local community at home, at hospital and at our specialist unit at Turnchapel. We look forward to working together over the next few years and are excited about the upcoming events on the calendar this year."

Managing Partner at Nash & Co Jon Loney said:

“The fundraising total achieved in 2016 shows just how wholeheartedly our staff believe in the work that St Luke’s does, supporting very ill people and their families in our local community.

“I would like to thank every member of the Nash team who has contributed in some way, either with ideas and organisation, event participation, sponsorship of colleagues, or simply buying a piece of cake. We will continue to work hard to raise more much-needed funds over the next four years of our commitment.”
