On Wednesday, 13th May Magdalena Korytkowska, Fundraising Co-ordinator at LOROS, was invited to Blaby District Council to accept a cheque for £2,106.08.
Councillor David Clements, Chairman of Blaby District Council, chose to support LOROS in 2014. During this year long partnership Blaby District Council staff members put their hands on deck to raise vital funds for their local Hospice. From the Blaby District Council Chairman’s Garden Party which was organised in July, quizzes and Coast-to-Coast Walk through to the Family Fun Day in the Pavilion, their Blaby Bake Off in October and a Christmas Concert in December – they really worked hard to secure money and make a difference to our local hospice.
Jane Toman, Director of People at Blaby District Council, said: “LOROS is a charity that supports so many people throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, and I’m 
so proud that our efforts throughout the year have raised over £2,000, which will go towards maintaining the valuable services of this excellent organisation.”
The fantastic amount donated is equivalent to the cost of a fully qualified, full time nurse to care for our terminally ill inpatients for three weeks.
Magdalena Korytkowska said: “We were honoured to have been chosen by Blaby District Council as their Charity of the Year for 2014 and we wish them every success with their fundraising in the future.
"On behalf of all the staff at LOROS, our patients and their families, I would like to thank the Council staff members from the bottom of our hearts for their amazing support. The donation will certainly help make a difference to the care we provide to 2,500 terminally ill patients and their carers each year.”
