On Wednesday 5th March Adams & Remers Solicitors funded the running of St Peter & St James Hospice for one day at £3,300.

The North-Chailey based hospice provides specialist care and support for those living with progressive, life limiting illnesses from East and West Sussex. Their services are provided free of charge to patients and their loved ones. As a registered charity, St Peter and St James Hospice receives just 15% of funding from the Government, which means they need to raise over £1.2 million each year through fundraising – which means £3,300 every single day.

Adams & Remers chose to help support the hospice by funding their services for one day to help raise awareness of the hospice’s amazing work and to encourage other local businesses to also support their fundraising activities.

Gill Cronin, Head of Fundraising for St Peter & St James Hospice & Continuing Care Centre said “On behalf of our patients, their loved ones and our staff I would like to thank Adams & Remers for showing their support. We were so delighted to be able to welcome Adams & Remers to the Hospice and show them some of the work we do here. The Business Initiative we have recently launched is working well and since July we have had 5 days of care funded by various businesses. It is so vital that local companies support us and I am sure that Adams & Remers, by showing their support for us in this way, will encourage other local businesses to follow their example.” If anyone would like further information please contact Gill directly on 01444 470206
