Thakeham and St Catherine’s Hospice have been working together over plans to deliver new facilities for St Catherine's Hospice as part of a new development at Pease Pottage, just down the road from the
Hospice’s existing site. Robert Boughton, MD Thakeham says “As our relationship with the Hospice has developed over this year, the team at Thakeham have really engaged, inspired by the incredible service the charity delivers to the local area. Throughout our company, the team are excited to do all they can to raise money for St Catherine’s and also to be a part of our future plans to deliver a new hospice facility. A determined few heard about the Dragon Boat Race amd wanted to take part - it didn’t take long to get the team together. We wish them lots of luck and will be cheering on from the shore!”
