Workers at Morris Lubricants raise nearly £26,000 for Hope House Children's Hospice

Employees of Morris Lubricants, the oil and lubricants manufacture raised nearly £12,000 for Hope House children’s hospice during 2023, boosting support for the charity to almost £26,000 over the last two years.

Over the last 12 months, a series of imaginative fundraising events have taken place organised by employees of Morris Lubricants.

These sponsored events included the gruelling Long Mynd Hike in October by Chief Operations Officer Owen Lloyd and colleagues Kim Mamaras, Russell Fox and Joe Fox. Engineer Paul Cox also took on a 66-mile bike ride around Loch Ness and Morris Lubricants’ footballers held a charity match against Greenhous which ended all square at 4-4.

Other fundraisers included an ‘Open the box’ game, several sweepstakes, charity cake sales, a ‘Last man standing’ competition, numerous raffles, as well as the ever-popular Christmas jumper competition.

Morris Lubricants’ Executive Chairman Andrew Goddard said: “Raising nearly £26,000 for Hope House over the past two years has been a fantastic team effort by the employees of both companies.

“It’s a local charity that everybody is very aware of and that does phenomenal work. We are delighted to support Hope House in any way we can. As parents, we all hope that we will never need to use their services but it’s reassuring to know that Hope House is there to support children and families.”

Bekki Fardoe, Area Fundraiser for Hope House, said: “We are really grateful to Morris Lubricants and Morris Leisure for supporting over the last two years and raising a staggering sum for the children and families that we support.

“The money they have raised has and will continue to make a huge difference in ensuring that we here for every family that turns to us.”
