Ian Jones, Chairperson for Lammack FC said “For some years we have been lucky to have a commercial sponsor for our kit and when the discussion started recently about who we should approach next, we decided to think outside of the box by offering the kit sponsorship to a local charity to provide them with valuable exposure within our community. We are aware that all charities are struggling to generate income at the present time due to the pandemic and as a community club we recognise the importance that East Lancashire Hospice plays to the people of Blackburn, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley and we are delighted to be able to support them.
Katie Elliott – Marketing and Communications Lead, East Lancashire Hospice commented “We are incredibly grateful to Ian and all of the team at Lammack Juniors for this wonderful gift. As a hospice we have to raise in the region of £3.9 million a year to care for our patients both in the hospice and out in the local community and due to the pandemic we already have a shortfall in the region of £650,000 for the first 9 months of this financial year. We recognise the significant value attached to the kit sponsorship both in terms of monetary value and in terms of the chance for us to raise our profile in the local community which is only possible due to the generosity of the club.
