The Club is delighted to announce Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and Wellbeing Care as our Charity of the Year.
Woking & Sam Beare Hospice are the only Hospice serving the six boroughs in NW Surrey of Woking, North Guildford, Surrey Heath, West Elmbridge, Spelthorne and Runnymede. The Hospice has 20 beds within individual rooms. However, 80% of the care is delivered in patients homes out in the community.
In 2023/4 the Hospice teams cared for 1024 individual patients and 495 family members and carers totalling 1519 individuals. The Hospice is supported in its work by dedicated multi-disciplinary colleagues and hundreds of invaluable and truly wonderful volunteers.
“It is an absolute pleasure to strengthen our partnership with Woking & Sam Beare Hospice, making them our Charity of the Year for the 24/25 season. Over the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to visit the hospice, see first-hand their incredible work, and meet so many wonderful people involved with the Hospice through networking and community events,” said Woking FC, Business Development Director, Simon Jones.
“Our support of Woking & Sam Beare Hospice has already started, with the club donating several auction prizes, season tickets and match tickets. This is just the start, with many more exciting fund and awareness-raising campaigns in the works. I am extremely excited to continue our great work with Tania and the rest of the Hospice team. I would also like to extend a very special thank you to Seymours Estate Agents, who provide invaluable media and creative support to this fantastic cause”. Jones added.
Tania Cantoni High Value Partnerships and Corporate Manager for the Hospice said “We are thrilled and very grateful to be Woking Football Clubs chosen charity for the 2024/25 season and are looking forward to further developing our partnership with the Club. Woking & Sam Beare Hospice is very much part of the local and surrounding NW Surrey community. Woking FC is a very well-respected Club who by committing to support the Hospice will help us to raise not just funds but also awareness and a further connection to the community that we serve. As Simon said we have some exciting plans, and we look forward to sharing them with you as they develop.”
