Each company, including MKM, is donating £35 a month for 35 months to help the hospice celebrate its 35th anniversary - and to ensure it can continue serving the community for at least another 35 years.

Paul Curwen, the Branch Director at MKM, said: "Supporting our local community is one of MKM’s core values - I can’t think of a much better way of doing that than by re-affirming MKM’s commitment to our brilliant charity partner St Mary’s Hospice.

"We are proud to be a Compassionate Company and would strongly encourage other businesses do the same, to help ensure our local hospice can continue to provide free care and support."
