In addition to this, Pam regularly gives presentation talks on the work of the hospice aimed at raising awareness of the need to generate significant funds to support patients and their families at a very difficult time in their lives.

She volunteers in the fundraising office and can also be spotted at numerous other events offering help where it’s needed.

Wendy Reason, director of income generation and marketing, said: “We are absolutely delighted that Pam’s hard work and commitment to Cransley Hospice has been recognised by her winning this award.
