Proud to support the Prince of Wales Hospice

Here at Poles Direct we’re very proud of our Yorkshire roots and are always on the lookout for ways to support good causes in the area. The Prince Of Wales Hospice are one local charity we have been working closely with recently, helping them fit-out several vital rooms with new window coverings.

The Hospice based in Pontefract, cares for patients with a wide range of life-limiting illnesses with the majority of our patients returning home after their symptoms have been managed – as well as supporting patients family and friends.

The PWH care for local people within the ‘Five Towns’ community, offering round-the-clock care 365 days a year. The Hospice offers a variety of services to help families through difficult times. They even have an in-care unit, a day therapy suite and offer support to carers. They help nearly 1,000 local people of all ages each year.

Recently they’ve been working with Roundabout, a youth housing charity that provides a range of support for young, homeless people, in and around Sheffield. Who Wooden Blinds Direct have recently supported with another donation of window coverings.

The Hospice have used the window coverings to replace old worn out blinds in their reception area and also had window coverings put up in their newly refurnishing their rehab room which officially opened at the beginning of March.

Amanda Darley, Facilities Manager at The Prince of Wales Hospice was delighted to receive blinds donated by us for several key areas within the hospice and said,

“The window coverings, donated by Poles Direct, have been installed in our new Rehabilitation Room, the reception area, clinical office spaces and staff dining room . They’ve certainly made a difference and I’d like to say thank you on behalf of the staff and patients at the Hospice. We’re very grateful to Interior Goods Direct Group for their kind donation.”

“The support of companies who provide us with gifts in kind, funding through sponsorship, match funding of their employees fundraising efforts or other resources is extremely important to us. It costs more than £6000 a day for us to provide the care and support to patients and their families at a time when they need it most. ”

The staff at the PWH were kind enough to send us over some pictures of their staff alongside our donations:
