Knockout Success at the Summer fair for Dove House Hospice


Sunday saw Dove House Hospice host their annual ‘It’s a Knockout’ competition at Chamberlain Road. Between 11am and 4pm, friends and families of the hospice combined with businesses battled it out raising money for the charity.

The Summer Fair, was complete with games, a bouncy castle, barbecue, bar and tombola. Each year the event takes place as the adult only, 20 bed hospice creates a buzz about their care for people with life limiting illnesses. With many previous clients in the hospice, Irwin Mitchell proudly work with the owners to walk towards a positive future for one and all.

Jane Wright, Irwin Mitchell’s head of personal injury team at the Leeds office, commented:  “We’re proud to sponsor Dove House’s annual fundraising event. Irwin Mitchell has had a number of clients cared for at the hospice and we are massive supporters of the fantastic work they do.”

Previous fundraising activities include the Hull 10k for the 22 year old charity, and the care it provides for patients who have heart diseases, respiratory diseases, AIDs or HIV, cancer or neurological illnesses is second to none. A real home from home, it deserves all the support it receives from local businesses.
