Cotswold Care Hospice selects ProgressCRM
Howard Lake | 12 April 2008 | News
Cotswold Care Hospice has chosen ProgressCRM from Fisk Brett to upgrade its fundraising database facilities.
Head of Fundraising at the Glourcestershire hospice, Peter Rowbottom, said: “After a successful capital appeal raising over £2.4 million to date, the challenge now begins to secure regular and sustainable funds from the local community that we serve and it is crucial that we review our business processes which includes our contact relationship management.”
The charity has to raise over £1.4 million each year to cover its running costs. ProgressCRM fundraising database will enable the hospice to manage all its supporters, campaigns and appeals.
Like other hospices, Cotswold Care Hospice also runs the annual Light up a Life Appeal (LUAL), for which ProgressCRM caters with a dedicated module. “LUAL has gone from strength to strength,” explained Hospice Events Manager Vicki Hayward. “We raised over £18,500 last Christmas and we’re sure that ProgressCRM and its Light up a Life module will help us achieve even greater income in future festive seasons.”
