Anne Davies, the popular television presenter is to become a patron of LOROS.
Currently presenting BBC East Midlands Today, Anne has had extensive broadcast experience including radio and TV, both behind and in front of the camera as well as being recognised by the Royal Television Society in 2012 as ‘Best on Screen Personality’.
Anne visited LOROS in the summer of 2014 and was very touched and impressed by the services she saw at first hand.
"To see the difference LOROS makes to so many local patients and their families was a very moving experience", said Anne, "and I am delighted to become a LOROS Patron so that I can help LOROS continue to provide their much needed services to terminally ill patients and their families”.
Anne will be joining Alan Birchenall, Julie Bradbury, Ali Mauchlen, Martin Johnson and Mark Selby as fellow patrons. Patrons are household names, locally and in some cases nationally, who generously provide support in a variety of different ways to help promote LOROS and raise funds.
"I am thrilled that Anne is joining us," said Diane Morris, Fundraising Manager at LOROS, "she brings a wealth of experience and we hope to be working closely with her over the coming years.”
LOROS is very much reliant on voluntary donations to deliver free, end of life care to over 2,500 patients a year in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, so the support of Patrons like Anne is vital.
“This is our 30th year of delivering invaluable care to our patients,” said Paul Keirnan, Director of Income Generation and Communications, “The support from people like Anne is an amazing boost.”
