Vikki and the team at J&B Recycling have supported Alice House for many years. As one of the first members of the Hospice’s Guild of Patrons, they donate £5,000 every year, which helps to provide care and support to local patients and families who have been affected by life limiting illness or the death of a loved one.

Furthermore, they have supported many other fundraising events and projects, most recently the Hospice’s Charity Firewalk in February and Golf Day in March.

The Hospice’s Board of Trustees oversee the running of the charity, ensuring that it is managed effectively, responsibly and legally. Trustees other duties include providing independent governance and advice, as well as representing Alice House as ambassadors and supporting its mission and values.

Hospice Co-CEO, Nicky Haggan said, “We welcome Vikki to our Board and are very pleased that she has taken this next step in her ongoing support of local Hospice care.

“As a longstanding Patron and supporter, both through her business and personally, Vikki continues to make a real difference to our patients and we are looking forward to developing an already very positive relationship. We really appreciate the warmth and kindness that Vikki continues to show towards our work.”

Vikki Jackson-Smith expressed her gratitude and excitement for joining Alice House Hospice’s Board of Trustees, stating, “I am truly honoured to join the Board of Trustees at Alice House Hospice, an organisation that holds a special place in my heart. The care and support they provide to our community during times of need are invaluable, and I am committed to furthering their mission alongside my dedicated colleagues. Together, we will continue to make a positive difference in the lives of patients and families facing life-limiting illness or loss.”
