How the partnership worked
Abbey branches raised funds for specific Help the Hospices projects and appeals.
What Abbey employees did
Abbey staff did some great fundraising with Go Yellow activities and Easter fundraising.
Santander sent a team of 70 people to the London Triathlon for Help the Hospices.
Children from local hospices in Leicester were also given the chance to meet Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, who is the brand ambassador for Santander, when he visited Santander’s Leicester office.
Through the partnership children from various hospices were given the opportunity to attend a QPR match and two very lucky children were mascots for the Arsenal football team.
An appeal that Help the Hospices ran in Abbey and Bradford and Bingley branches asked customers to make a donation for Yolky Folk - decorations for eggs. A large, inflatable Yolky Folk appeared in a few branches to promote the launch.
