Our thanks to...

The Midcounties Co-operative Kemp Hospice
KEMP is delighted that the Midcounties Co-operative have decided to support the Hospice throughout 2009 and 2010. Over the two years, the Midcounties Co-operative will be raising funds for Eleven Hospices including KEMP, and Help the Hospices.

The Co-operative will be holding collections at the tills, taking part in sponsored walks, skydiving, and taking part in Hospice events to raise funds for the partnership.

Kate Wilkinson, KEMP Hospice Fundraiser says: "We are absoluteley thrilled that the Midcounties Co-operative have chosen to support KEMP Hospice. Their help means so much, not just in terms of fundraising, but through volunteering at the Hospice and offering mentoring and support".

One of the highlights of the partnership so far has been the support from the Midcounties Co-operative convenience store staff at the KEMP Santa Fun Run, where 50 members of staff donned Santa outfits for the day to run 10K to raise funds for the Hospice.

Look out for the Midcounties Co-operative sponsored walk which will take place on Saturday 5th June 2010, starting at KEMP Hospice, and finishing at Compton Hospice.
