Curo colleagues walked, baked and cycled their way to raise more than £11,000 for their chosen charity of the year St Peter's Hospice.

Each year, Curo colleagues vote for a local charity to focus their fundraising support on.

St Peter's Hospice was chosen as a thank you for the care and support the hospice provided for a much-loved and respected colleague – Mike Purnell – who lost his battle with cancer in January 2023.

 The charity is the only adult hospice in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, supporting a population of nearly one million.

 "St Peter's has positively touched the lives of lots of people, including many of us at Curo," says Victor da Cunha, Curo's Chief Executive.

"I'm incredibly proud of all the colleagues who've taken part in everything from sponsored spinathons to boot sales and raffles to raise this phenomenal amount."

St Peter's Hospice aims to provide physical, psychological and spiritual care in an environment of support, comfort, compassion and respect. Professionals support patients in their own homes as well as at the hospice.

Ben Lee, Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager, St Peter's Hospice, says: "The Curo colleagues demonstrated remarkable proactivity and creativity in their fundraising activities.

"They signed up for events, organised office fundraisers, and even embraced challenges such as a cold water dip.

 "Curo's fundraising efforts will directly contribute to supporting the care provided by St Peter's Hospice.

"The funds raised play a crucial role in sustaining and enhancing the hospice's services, ensuring access to compassionate and specialised care for patients facing life-limiting illnesses.

"This support enables the hospice to offer comfort, dignity and a comprehensive range of services to individuals and their families during challenging times."
