The Overgate Hospice Annual Charity Ball is one of the most prestigious events on the Overgate calendar and one of their biggest fund-raisers. As such Investing For Tomorrow were proud to be sponsors for the evening.
In 1981 Overgate Hospice was established for the people of Calderdale providing specialist care. It costs approximately £8,500 a day to run Overgate and £3.3 million a year. Sadly, only 18% of this is funded by the Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group, with the rest coming from traditional fundraising activities by the general public.
Thanks to the incredible kindness of the guests, the event raised an astounding £70,000! This remarkable achievement will go directly towards funding a much-needed overnight relatives’ room as part of Overgate’s Big Build Appeal. The relatives’ room will offer a comforting space where loved ones can stay close to their family members during the most difficult times.
