Pendleside Hospice is thrilled to announce that Daisy Group will be the official sponsor of the 2025 Corporate Challenge, marking the ninth year of this vital fundraising initiative.

With over 70 businesses participating last year and raising a record-breaking sum of over £250,000, Pendleside is set to make 2025, bigger and better than ever, thanks to Daisy's generous support. 

The Corporate Challenge invites businesses of all sizes, within the Burnley and Pendle areas, to fundraise for the Hospice from June to September.

Companies can take part in a variety of activities, including skydiving, cake sales, golf tournaments, or participating in our own events, such as the much anticipated and widely known Pendle Pub Walk, which takes place just after the Corporate Challenge’s official launch, on Saturday, 14th June. 

Elaine Middleton, head of corporate fundraising at Pendleside Hospice, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have Daisy as our official sponsor this year.

"Their support allows us to focus more on providing care for our patients and their families, as their sponsorship covers essential running costs of this four-month-long initiative.

"The Corporate Challenge is open to businesses of all shapes and sizes, and it’s a fantastic way to raise funds while boosting team morale, networking with other local businesses, and giving back to our community.  

"We encourage everyone to get involved, whether it’s through raffles, sporting events, or simply by donating preloved items to our retail shops. Every effort counts and makes a huge difference!

"To wrap up the challenge, participants will gather for a special awards night, a highlight that brings everyone together to celebrate their achievements.

"This is Pendleside’s way of saying thank you to all of those involved, and we're excited to have the Daisy team join us in the celebrations. This memorable finale will be hosted at Crow Wood on Friday, 31st October.”

Daisy Group has been a long-standing supporter of Pendleside Hospice.

From a generous £10,000 donation during the COVID-19 pandemic to sponsoring the Pendleside Does Strictly event last year, Daisy has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the Hospice and the local community.

This year, Daisy's sponsorship of the Corporate Challenge will ensure that the majority of the funds raised go directly to providing patient care.

Dave McGinn, managing director at Daisy said: "The whole team at Daisy is honoured to be supporting Pendleside Hospice’s Corporate Challenge for 2025.

"We have taken part several times in the past ourselves and the incredible dedication and generosity of local businesses in raising vital funds for such a worthy cause is truly inspiring.

Events like these not only bring our business community together but also make a tangible difference to the lives of those in need. We look forward to attending the events, embracing the challenge, and celebrating the collective successes of participants at the awards night in October!"

Last year’s Corporate Challenge saw businesses from all over Burnley and Pendle raise £232,243.04, surpassing all previous records.

Pendleside Hospice relies heavily on such initiatives, as the funds go directly towards providing care for those living with advancing, long-term and life-limiting illnesses, as well as providing care for their families.

Louisa Mayor, head of income generation at Pendleside Hospice, said: "The backing we receive from businesses like Daisy Group is invaluable to Pendleside Hospice.

"The generosity and support of our local business community never ceases to amaze us, and their involvement helps us continue our mission.

"We are immensely grateful to Daisy Group for their incredible support over the years, and we look forward to seeing our generous local businesses come together once again to make a difference."

This year’s Corporate Challenge will kick off with a soft launch event at Daisy Communications in Nelson on Wednesday, 12th March, from 4pm to 6pm.

The free event will provide businesses with the opportunity to learn more about the Corporate Challenge, network with other local businesses, and discover the many benefits of participating.

Refreshments will be provided, and there is no obligation to sign up on the day. To reserve a spot, contact Elaine Middleton on [email protected].

Pendleside Hospice provides invaluable care to patients and their families across Burnley and Pendle.

The Corporate Challenge not only raises crucial funds but also fosters a sense of community spirit, encouraging businesses to come together for a worthy cause.

With Daisy's support, the 2025 Corporate Challenge promises to be a resounding success, continuing the legacy of care and compassion that Pendleside Hospice is known for.
