Care South and Lewis-Manning Hospice Care have held an informal partnership for a number of years and have worked closely to support one another through a wide range of initiatives and events.
Residents from Care South’s Dorset House care home in Poole were delighted to recently join Lewis-Manning Hospice Care at its ‘Muddy Dog Dash’. Residents wanted to see the start line, so they all sat near the action and watched the runners take part in a warmup with some residents joining in with the lunging and stretching. Others watched on excitedly and were delighted when runners brought their dogs over to meet them. Once the participants were underway, residents enjoyed a delicious lunch spread of sandwiches, cakes and hot drinks.
Simon Bird, Care South’s Chief Executive, commented: “This partnership is yet another way that Care South is able to support such an important local charity – and one which means so much to us all and supports us and residents in our care throughout the year. As part of the partnership, we have lots of interesting and exciting projects and initiatives planned as well as many more activities and events at our homes involving residents, staff and volunteers from both charities, throughout the year.”
Clare Gallie, CEO at LewisManning Hospice Care, added: “There are no words to express our gratitude and thanks to Care South for this grant in recognition of the partnership. Care South and Lewis-Manning are both charities and share the same values as one another. Thank you from the bottom of my heart –this fantastic sum of money will enable us to help more people and their loved ones in our community.”
