A TRIUMPH OF GENEROSITY

Fundraising more than £33,000 for Woking & Sam Beare Hospices was a crowning achievement for Seymours in 2022

Woking & Sam Beare Hospice is a patient-led charity that delivers palliative and end of life care throughout north-west Surrey. Seymours may have been part of the local community 30 years now, but for every new colleague that joins us, we teach them how important it is to us to give back to the local community and support local charities and good causes. There’s none closer to our hearts than Woking & Sam Beare Hospices, which is why we pledged to raise £1000 for every year of their 25 year history in 2022.

From mountain climbs, to regatta racing, golf tournaments and marathon running, team Seymours have enjoyed every second of our fundraising efforts throughout the year and were delighted to not only reach, but exceed our fundraising goals, donating more than £33,000 by the end of the year!

Since the last issue of Prestige Homes Magazine there have been two high profile events that crowned a fantastic year of fundraising. The Dove Ball returned for the first time since the pandemic, inviting the hospice’s most dedicated and high profile supporters to a sparkling black tie ball. Seymours were delighted to attend in support for a night filled with heartwarming speeches and an incredible fundraising action with several ‘money can’t buy’ prizes.

Christ Church in Jubilee Square, Woking once again hosted the annual Seymours Carol Concert in aid of Woking & Sam Beare Hospice. Hosted by our very own Nolan Dark and Lisa Athron, we brought together choirs from local schools to perform alongside West End musical stars and The Salvation Army band, for a performance of Mary Poppins.

Such a vibrant display of music and community spirit was the perfect way to get in the festive spirit and a perfect celebration for the culmination of a year of fundraising.

Commenting on behalf of Woking & Sam Beare Hospices, Lucy McNally said “We’re blown away by the support of Seymours, to raise this much money really shows their commitment to our cause and we’re not only grateful for the donation but also the awareness and connection to the communities we’re developing with this relationship”.
