Did you know... Hospices need to raise over £1 million per day to keep going
.

Saint-Gobain Building Distribution

Our two year partnership with Saint Gobain Building Distribution UK and Ireland has now come to a close. After launching in 2009 with over 500 branches being twinned with 170 local hospices, the 'Together' partnership has raised over £335,000!

What we did together

Staff fundraising

Branches fundraised through collection tins, cake sales, raffles and much more. Staff also participated in challenges including:

  • cycling from London to Paris
  • running  the London Marathon.

Tour de Jewson

A number of staff, customers and suppliers from Jewson rallied together and completed the Tour de Jewson - a mammoth bike ride from Lands End to John O’ Groats covering a total of 1,801 miles in 11 days. The team completed the course as a relay and raised £20,000, visiting 68 branches and several local hospices along the way.

 

Trade accounts

The company set up trade accounts for hospices, leading to substantial savings on building materials. 

 

Raising awareness

The company has given Help the Hospices many opportunities to raise awareness of the hospice cause at supplier conferences and external events. This has been a brilliant platform to talk about hospice care and engage with Saint-Gobain employees.

 

Thank you

A warm thank you to all that organised, took part in and supported us throughout the partnership – we truly appreciate your help.
