Hear below from the Managing Director, Michael Lambert, as to why they have decided to become an East Lancashire Hospice Ambassador. 

Why was now the right time to deepen your relationship with the Hospice?

Media Village are a company who have always looked to help and support our local community. We recently had the pleasure of being invited for a tour of East Lancashire Hospice and to meet the amazing team and see the great work they do. Speaking with Leanne and Marisa, it was evident as to how passionate they are and how tirelessly they work. This certainly resonated with us and made us want to work more in partnership and to offer our support in our own unique way.

What does the Hospice mean to you, personally and professionally?

Personally, the Hospice represents compassion at its most powerful and human level. It’s a place where dignity, comfort, and emotional support are prioritised at a time when individuals and families need it most. For me, it’s a reminder of the importance of presence, empathy, and respect at life’s most vulnerable moments. Whether through personal experiences with loved ones or witnessing the care provided, the Hospice embodies values that deeply resonate with me.

Professionally, this charity symbolises excellence in holistic care and community service. It stands as a model for how organisations can deliver not just clinical support, but emotional and spiritual care as well. Working alongside or in support of the Hospice allows me to align my professional efforts with meaningful, purpose-driven work – making a tangible difference in people’s lives during critical times.

How do the values of East Lancashire Hospice align with those of Media Village?

The East Lancashire Hospice values of compassion, dignity, respect, and community – closely mirror the core principles that guide our business. We also believe in putting people first, acting with integrity, and supporting others through meaningful relationships. They provide personalised, thoughtful care to individuals and families, and we mirror this by striving to deliver a service that is both people-centred and purpose-driven.

We also share a commitment to community impact. The Hospice works to uplift individuals during life’s most challenging moments, and we, too, aim to make a positive difference – not just in our industry, but in the lives of those around us. Partnering with this local charity feels like a natural extension of who we are and what we stand for.

Why is supporting Hospice care in our local community so important to you?

Supporting Hospice care locally is important to me because every person deserves dignity, comfort, and compassion at the end of life; close to home and surrounded by community. Hospice care doesn’t just serve patients; it supports entire families during some of the most difficult and emotional times they’ll face. Knowing that this kind of care is available in our community brings reassurance and peace of mind.

I believe it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure that no one faces those final moments alone or without proper support. By backing these local services, we’re not only caring for individuals – we're building a more compassionate and connected community; one that stands by its members through every stage of life.

In what ways do you hope this new wall will help the Hospice?

Our hope is that the wall will proudly acknowledge businesses for their partnership and support of East Lancashire Hospice; not only offering them the PR they deserve, but also inspiring other companies to reach out and see how they can get involved in serving the hospice and community.

What message would you give to other businesses considering a long-term partnership with East Lancashire Hospice?

Speak to Leanne, Marisa and the team and see the amazing work they do. You can support in any way you see fit, no matter how big or small. It all makes a massive difference.
