THE second hospice to benefit from Pacific Building’s generosity visited the company’s HQ in Hillington Park on Wednesday, April 18, 2015, to pick up a cheque for \u00a3500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kenneth Mathie, fund-raising manager at the Accord Hospice<\/a> in Paisley, was delighted to receive the money, which he will use to purchase a “wish list” item to help add dignity, care or some needed practicality to the lives of those with life-limiting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He told Pacific Managing Director Brian Gallacher: “This is a fantastic donation from a company that clearly cares about the community in which it is situated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We are always grateful to receive donations of types from various organisations, but when the donor is local, it just makes it that little bit more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Everyone at the Accord Hospice wishes Pacific well in its 10th anniversary year \u2013 and we can’t wait till the end-of-year party you’re hosting.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Since 1982, Accord Hospice has grown and developed so that today the range of specialist palliative care and support offered within the hospice and the community is of a very high standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Listening to the needs of our patients, their carers and other healthcare professionals has ensured that the hospice’s highly trained and experienced multi-disciplinary team of staff and volunteers deliver high quality medical and nursing care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “None of this is possible without the ongoing financial support of indivduals, local groups and businesses. Their trust in our work is never taken for granted and is greatly valued.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The local health authority provides some funding but more than \u00a31,600,000 will be required to be raised by Accord Hospice this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pacific have already made a donation to St Vincent’s Hospice<\/a>.
