Wolverhampton hospice receives £10,000 boost from Staffordshire Freemasons
Compton Care is among six hospices sharing £60,000 in funding from the Staffordshire Masonic Charitable Association
Compton Care in Wolverhampton has received a £10,000 donation from Staffordshire Freemasons to help support its specialist care for children and families affected by life-limiting illnesses.
The donation is part of a £60,000 funding initiative by the Staffordshire Masonic Charitable Association (SMCA), which is supporting six hospices across Staffordshire and the Black Country.
Other beneficiaries include Katharine House Hospice in Stafford, Acorns Children’s Hospice in Walsall, St Giles Hospice in Whittington and Dougie Mac’s adult and children’s services in Stoke-on-Trent.
Hospices rely heavily on charitable donations to fund their work, including specialist nursing, end-of-life care, bereavement support and help for families.
Jeremy Roberts, head of Staffordshire Freemasons, said: “Hospices hold a special place in our communities, providing compassionate care and support to people and families during some of life’s most difficult moments.
“We are delighted to be able to support Compton Care, an outstanding organisation, and recognise the tremendous difference they make every day.”
A Compton Care spokesperson said: “We are extremely grateful to the Staffordshire Freemasons for this generous donation. Support like this helps us continue delivering the specialist care and support that local patients and their families rely on every day.”
The funding forms part of the SMCA’s charitable work supporting organisations across the county.
