Breeze Club gives £25k windfall to Pontefract's Prince of Wales Hospice

The Breeze Club is a collective of individuals with a like-minded approach to raising money for charity. The national organisation, based in London, supports three worthy causes each year, nominated by its members. Funds are raised and distributed annually through three large golf tournaments attended by the members and their guests.

Last year, The Prince of Wales Hospice was selected as one of the charities to support. The Pontefract hospice has been providing specialist care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families since 1989.

Martin Jepson, Founder of Ergo Real Estate is one of The Breeze Club members. He said: “We were introduced to The Prince of Wales Hospice and the amazing work they do in the local area through our longstanding partner, Castleford Tigers.

"Breeze Club has chosen to support this local hospice as one of its charities, in recognition of the essential care they provide to people with life-limiting illness.”

Adrian Greenwood, Fundraising Manager at The Prince of Wales Hospice, added: “We are very grateful for The Breeze Club’s support. Their donation covers the cost of our full 13-bed Incare ward for over four days, including all nursing, doctors, catering and housekeeping.

"Donations, like this, keep us going and help to provide much needed hospice care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families.”
