Every year Harrow chooses a local charity to support by donating all financial contributions that are received through the various corporate events that we both host and take part in, such as golf days, sailing trips and cycling competitions.
This year is no different and we have nominated St Luke's Cheshire Hospice in recognition of the charity's tremendous work giving specialist care for terminally ill adults by providing pain and symptom control and end of life care as well as great support for family and friends during the difficult journey.
(more information can be found on their website https://www.stlukes-hospice.co.uk/).
