Greencore Prepared Meals in Consett has a long history of supporting Willow Burn Hospice through donations of food and drink or going that extra mile (or 13.1 miles) in the Great North Run and other events. This support has proved invaluable to the patients, volunteers and staff at Willow Burn.
We have recently raised over £5000 by doing the Great North Run. In addition to taking part and raising funds, we have also promoted Willow Burn on social media, helping raise the profile of the charity. We have already signed up for the 2017 Great North Run – which will mark 10 years of us supporting Willow Burn.
This weekend we also entered a team in the Willow Burn Pedal for Pounds event, a 30 mile bike ride around Derwentside.
Commenting on Greencore’s support the Willow Burn fundraising team said: ‘Greencore will always have a special place in the heart of this charity and we want to highlight that and say Thank You to everyone involved for your continued support.’
