A LOYAL supporter has donated £10,000 towards The Myton Hospices’ ‘Give the Gift of a Hospice Bed’ campaign.
The Box Factory, based in Leamington, made the donation to help ensure more people across Coventry and Warwickshire can access a hospice bed when they need it most.
Due to limited funding, too many patients are still dying before a bed becomes available at Myton. The Box Factory’s donation could fund a hospice bed for over three weeks, providing vital care for local people at the most difficult time in their lives.
This year, Myton need to raise £12.7 million to continue providing their expert care free of charge to patients and their loved ones.
Despite these challenges, the charity remains committed to keeping their services running and supporting as many people as possible. As the only provider of hospice inpatient beds in Coventry and Warwickshire, this is critical – and Myton is calling on local businesses and the community to stand with them.
The hospice’s spokesperson Chris Willmott said: “We are incredibly grateful to the team at The Box Factory for their continued support over the years. Their donation of £10,000 to our ‘Give the Gift of a Hospice Bed’ campaign will help us care for more people when they need us most.
“Tragically, there are still too many people dying on our waiting list for a hospice bed at Myton – this is heart-breaking, and this campaign is about changing that.
With the support of generous local organisations like The Box Factory, and the wider community, we can ensure Myton is here for everyone, now and in the future.”
The donation from The Box Factory is part of its ongoing commitment to supporting local good causes, reflecting its long-standing partnership with Myton.
Managing director Neil Price added: “Supporting local causes is at the heart of The Box Factory’s values, and we are proud to continue our long-standing partnership with The Myton Hospices. The work of Myton is truly invaluable and we hope our contribution will help ensure that more patients and their families can access the care they deserve.”
It costs £450 to fund a hospice bed at Myton for one day and every donation – big or small – makes a difference. ‘
