“This partnership goes beyond fundraising and will involve close integration between
Diageo and NI Hospice Care,” Clare Strawson of Diageo said.

 

The partnership is the latest in Diageo NI’s ongoing citizenship programme which
has seen the company donate over £310,000 to a cross section of charities through
the Diageo Northern Ireland Community Awards scheme.

 

The Hospice has to raise around £6.5 millon each year, the biggest fundraising target
in Northern Ireland.
