Local wine distributors and off licence chain, Winemark, has chosen the Northern
Ireland Children’s Hospice as their charity of the year. The target is to raise 
£30,000 for the local charity which provides care to life limited children both 
at hospice and in their home.

An innovative fundraising strategy has been put in place by the local company who
are planning individual and store wide fundraising events. Paul Hunt, Chairman of
Winemark, believes that the partnership further reinforces their commitment to the
local community.

Winemark are delighted to announce the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice as our
chosen charity for the coming year. We aim to raise £30,000 for the charity which
is the only children’s hospice in Northern Ireland. The Winemark team are looking
forward to the implementation of our innovative fundraising events as well as organising
some events of their own, Mr Hunt said.

Siofra Healy, Fundraising and Marketing Manager for Northern Ireland Hospice Care,
said:

Partnership fundraising initiatives like this one gives the Northern Ireland Children’s
Hospice an opportunity to plan for the future and guarantee care to life limited
children and support to their families both in hospice and at home.”

The charity receives no government funding and depends on the support and generosity
of the public to help maintain and provide its services.
