The Rosemary Appeal - Our Corporate Charity of the Year

The Rosemary Appeal is striving to raise £4.5 million to build and populate the Rosemary Centre at West Berkshire Community Hospital with staff and equipment.  Currently, patients from Newbury and West Berkshire suffering from advanced illnesses such as Cancer and Renal disease have to travel to Reading, Oxford, Swindon and even further afield to Southampton and London to receive treatment. The amount of time and money spent travelling places significant strain on not just patients, but also their families and friends.  

David Ball, Chairman of the Rosemary Appeal stated "we are delighted that we have been chosen as the English Provender Company designated charity this year.  We have a well established support service for cancer patients but we can only succeed with the help of the community.  Our new project - The Rosemary Appeal - will have a very significant impact on local patients, bringing their treatment so much closer to home; but such a project is expensive and we have set ourselves an ambitious target."  

Throughout the year, employees of English Provender Company will be conducting a number of initiatives to raise money for The Rosemary Appeal; including cake sales, sporting events such as the Reading Half Marathon, raffles & competitions.
