Gleeson Homes Supports Local Hospice with £1,000 Donation
Gleeson Homes has made a generous donation of £1,000 to Lindsey Lodge Hospice and Healthcare in Scunthorpe. This contribution will aid the charity's essential work in providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care to patients and families across North Lincolnshire.
Supporting Vital Community Services
The donation underscores Gleeson Homes' commitment to backing the communities where it operates, particularly near its upcoming development on Burringham Road. Lindsey Lodge Hospice, an independent charity, relies heavily on fundraising and donations, as only a portion of its core costs are government-funded.
Laura Fidell, fundraising assistant at Lindsey Lodge Hospice, expressed gratitude: "We are extremely grateful to Gleeson Homes for their generous donation. As an independent charity, support like this is vital in helping us continue to provide compassionate care to patients and their families at some of the most difficult times in their lives. Donations from local businesses make a real difference to the services we can offer."
Personal Connections and Community Impact
The presentation was attended by Bethany Marshall, Sales Manager, and Emily Barratt, Land Manager, who represent Gleeson locally. For Bethany, the visit held special significance, as her grandmother had previously received care at Lindsey Lodge.
Bethany Marshall commented: "Lindsey Lodge holds a very special place for my family and me. The care and compassion shown to my grandmother meant a great deal to us, and I am incredibly proud that Gleeson can support a hospice that provides such vital care to so many local families. Being able to give something back feels very personal and meaningful."
Emily Barratt added: "It's important to us that we support organisations that play such a significant role within local communities. Lindsey Lodge provides essential care and support to people when they need it most, and we're pleased that this donation can help support their continued work, particularly so close to our future development on Burringham Road."

Lindsey Lodge Hospice offers a wide range of services beyond end-of-life care, designed to help individuals live well with life-limiting conditions. These include:
- Wellbeing support programs
- Symptom management clinics
