We are always keen to explore fundraising ideas which benefit both the Hospice and your business. Please contact the fundraising department for more information.

Below are a selection of our corporate friends, who have generously supported the Shakespeare Hospice:

... A TROUBLE HALVED

... a trouble halved are pleased to support The Shakespeare Hospice, by providing graphic design, advertising and website work to promote the Hospice at a greatly reduced rate. After designing the original Hospice logo many years ago, we carried out a complete design overhaul, including a new corporate identity about 12 months ago. We have followed this design theme through on all the leaflets, newsletters etc. and have just completed the re-design and build of the website so that it is completely editable and can be kept updated by the Hospice themselves.
