West Country PR agency Empica is the latest firm to join the Children’s Hospice South West Business Club 2022.

Children’s Hospice South West provides hospice care for children with life-limiting conditions and their whole family. Respite and short breaks, emergency care, palliative care and end of life care is provided at three wonderful children's hospices, including Charlton Farm, which is just down the road from Empica’s offices in Wraxall.

CHSW are looking for 300 companies across the South West to be part of their special network in 2022 with a target of raising £90,000 while also providing networking opportunities for businesses.

Martin Powell, Managing Director at Empica said: “We are really pleased to support a cause so close to our home and hearts. Empica are one of the closest businesses to the Charlton Farm hospice, just a mile away in the same village.

“We are looking forward to coming together with other local businesses to support as many children as we can and we will be encouraging others to join.”

Amanda Gallagher, Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser for CHSW said, “We are so pleased to welcome Empica to our Business club, it is fantastic to see one of the closest businesses to us get involved with our cause.

“For more than 25 years CHSW have been caring for children with life-threatening conditions, making the most of short and precious lives by providing hospice care and family support services.

“The care we offer is also about enriching the lives of the children and families, we are really enjoying working together with local businesses to do this and to support as many children as we can.”
