We doing our bit!

We have chosen a number of local charities and we have various fundraising activities planned throughout the year.

Here at JP & Brimelow we strongly believe in doing our bit for the local community, clubs, teams, schools and supporting many varied charities over the past 18 years. Over the last couple of years amongst other things, a number of staff members from all offices took part in 1/2 marathons, 10k walks, triathlons, golf days, cake making and many charity auctions on behalf of local children’s charities and we hope to continue with raising funds for worthy causes.

After 8 years of fundraising for St Ann’s Hospice, we couldn’t be more proud to announce that Eddie Ellis has become an official Charity Business Partner. St Ann’s Hospice aim to meet the unique physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of patients with life-limiting illnesses and I look forward to working together with Clare Henderson and her fantastic team raising vital funds for this incredible place.

How your fundraising makes a difference

£5 will pay for a meal for one of our patients at the hospice. All our patients’ meals are prepared in the hospice by our cooks and kitchen staff. Patients are given a choice from the menu, but if they don’t fancy anything on there, we’ll speak to them and make something they’d like to eat.

£20 enables us to provide a complementary therapy session for a patient or carer. At both our hospices and from the Neil Cliffe Centre we offer complementary therapies to patients and their carers. Complementary therapy aims to help people relax and feel at peace through sessions such as reiki, aromatherapy or massage.

£25 could pay for an appointment for a patient with one of our hairdressers. It’s important for our patients to feel like themselves and look how they want to. Patients can visit our hairdresser onsite at the hospice and he’s experienced in looking after people who might be experiencing hair loss as part of their condition or treatment.

£30 will pay for an hour’s bereavement session for a loved one with our Patient and Family Support Team. Our team will support our patients loved ones and can help with things like explaining what is happening to young children. We’re here for our patients families for as long as they need us.

£50 will provide a patient with an hour of treatment with our lymphedema, physiotherapy or occupational therapy teams. These services aim to give patients the best quality of life and are bespoke to each patient’s needs.

A fully refurbished development within these two victorian bay fronted semi-detached properties known as Sandiwood’, this is the place to live in as each apartment has been designed to accommodate the busy lifestyles of today’s city professional and firsttime buyers.

CleverClear is a Greater Manchester based house clearance specialist providing fast, eco friendly disposal of any unwanted items for homeowners, landlords, and property professionals. Whether you require a full house clearance of a ‘hoarders house’ or the disposal of a single item, CleverClear are experts in taking care of the whole process.

When buying, selling, or letting property, the removal of any kind of accumulated and unwanted items can be a logistically difficult and often daunting task. CleverClear was founded by its owners who have decades of experience in the property and waste industry.

‘Our goal is to provide a great service, and to reduce landfill’ says Kerry Murphy, one of the Directors of CleverClear. ‘We do this by listening carefully to our clients needs and by being meticulous in the separating and sorting of items and materials so that we can reuse, recycle, and donate as much as we possibly can. We found that many people became frustrated with charities and clearance companies that would only pick and choose items from a property, and not be able to fully solve a clients problem. It just wasn’t helpful for them. They were often selling a house, working to a timescale and needed the property empty, and they required a solution that simplified the whole task.

Once CleverClear has removed any items a client needs taking away, our knowledgable and energetic team then get to work reusing what we can, recycling the various separated materials, and donating anything useful to a network of excellent charities. It can be a complicated task but we love the challenge! We are often working for executors of deceased estates, or with individuals who do not live close by to the property, so it is extremely important that we communicate clearly and professionally, being aware of what sometimes can be sensitive and stressful situations. We have a fleet of specialised vehicles meaning that we never use unsightly and inefficient skips, so once we leave a property, it’s neatly swept and ready for sale.’

CleverClear will visit your property and provide a free assessment and quote for your house clearance, and they will take care to follow your requirements exactly.
