Story

When our dear friend and colleague Neil Cundale passed away in October 2023, Hillier Hopkins committed to helping his wife Liz with her goal of raising £100,000 for the Hospice of St Francis who had looked after them throughout Neil’s illness. We are planning a number of events throughout the year with staff, clients and friends participating. Please support us and Liz in helping raise vital funds for this wonderful hospice.
