Britannia Anchor Removals recently gave a helping hand to Francis House Hospice for terminally ill children in Didsbury, Manchester.

The hospice had been raising funds to build a new office and was ready to relocate from the kitchen where fundraising coordinator Peter Foster had had been working for the past few months!

 

Britannia Anchor originally submitted a quotation for £1100 for the move, which was accepted by the hospice. However, Chris Smallwood, Britannia Anchor’s Managing Director wanted to show the company’s support and with the help of PPS Crate Hire, who agreed to supply crates for the move free of charge, the price was halved.

 

Chris commented, “We have worked with Francis House for a number of years now and nothing touches the heart more than seeing terminally ill children cared for in such a special way. Francis House rely heavily on public donations and we wanted to play our part; it is always nice to give something back. We must also thank PPS Crate Hire for their generosity.”

 

Britannia Anchor Removals will also be launching a donation option on their quotations, so that people who choose to move with Britannia Anchor Removals can tick a box and donate £1 to Francis House. “It is a simple thing and we hope that our fantastic clients and potential clients will help us to raise lots of money for such a worthy cause," said Chris.
