Hastings firm hands over £646 cheque to St Michael's Hospice
Many team members have a connection to St. Michael's Hospice so it was important to all at TE Hastings to contribute towards the valuable work they do. They threw their creative energies into running a variety of fun events through the year to raise £646 for the hospice.
Sophie Bailey, Community and Corporate Fundraiser at St Michael’s Hospice, said: “St Michael's Hospice is heavily dependent on the generosity of individuals, companies, groups and trusts.

TE Hastings' contribution means that our specialist clinical team can continue to support and enable people living in Hastings and Rother to live well with dying, death and loss.
"It is our priority to make every penny count, ensuring 91p out of every pound goes straight back into patient care. Our team delivers supportive care, symptom control and support to patients and families through our In-Patient Unit, Wellbeing Programme, Hospice Community Outreach, Specialist Palliative Care Telephone Support Line, Bereavement Support and Hospice Neighbours.”
