To date, the most popular way of generating donations has been their in-house Tuc Shop which is stocked with crisps, sweets and chocolate snacks which are purchased by the staff and clients allowing them the chance to enjoy a ‘guilt free’ treat as it is all for a good cause.

Julie Dunn from Flannagans said, “We have recently moved premises to Hub One in The Innovation Centre which has broadened our customer base as now other businesses within the centre also use our ‘Guilt Free Tuc Shop’, they also supported us and purchased raffle tickets for our annual Christmas Raffle allowing us to raise in total £1000 in 2016, and with all this support we hope to exceed that target this year.”

Flannagans would like to take this opportunity to thank their staff, clients and business neighbours for their continued support helping them to keep raising funds for Alice House Hospice.

Hospice Fundraiser, Greg Hildreth said, “The support we receive from Flannagans is fantastic and we are really grateful to the team for their long term dedication which helps us sustain patient care in Hartlepool and East Durham; this kind of business support enables us to continue to deliver these services to those who need them, when they need them.”
