Supporting Hospices through their Switch and Stay Campaign
Hospice UK was proud to partner with The Co-operative Bank on their Switch and Stay campaign, which launched on Monday 11th November 2024 and ran for a month.
As part of the campaign, customers who switched to a Co-operative Bank current account received £150, and in addition, The Co-operative Bank donated £15 to Hospice UK on their behalf. These funds totalled £39,000 and were distributed equally to 39 participating hospices.
The funds supported a range of festive activities that brought comfort and joy to patients and their loved ones. These included Christmas meals and treats, room decorations, visits from Santa, family gatherings, virtual visits for those unable to attend in person, and the creation of meaningful memory-making keepsakes.
This campaign offered a heartwarming opportunity for hospices to create special moments for patients, families, staff, and volunteers.
