Chris Swinton, the hospice’s events fund-raiser, said: “We’re delighted to receive the support of Persimmon. It was a great pleasure to speak with the team about the work of the hospice.
“We want people to be aware that while many patients receive care at our hospice site in Hindley, we provide support for patients and families across the whole of the Wigan and Leigh borough.
“This outstanding level of care can only continue to be provided thanks to the dedicated assistance from local businesses and wonderful supporters like Persimmon.”
