Nick

"I've never worked in sales. It was completely new to me. But one of the criterias was like, you like people and you care about people. And I thought, well, that sounds like me. I'll just give it a go. And it's probably the best decision I've ever made."

Chief Executive Officer

Gary

"The idea was born in a car journey on the way back from a conference with myself and a colleague. It was a light-bulb moment. Still gives me shivers up my spine when I think about it."

Kim

"I’m never in one place for more than a few days at a time. You get to meet such lovely people. You’re never alone, because you’re part of a team wherever you are. It’s very, very flexible."

A lifeline for local children and families

Hospice Manager

Paola

"Our partnership with the Local Hospice Lottery is absolutely essential. It raises approximately £280,000 a year for Haven House and without those funds, we simply couldn't do what we do."
