The Partnership with Cynthia Spencer Hospice

A Journey of Compassion and Support

Silverstone Leasing's journey with Cynthia Spencer Hospice is a testament to the company's values and its dedication to societal welfare. Cynthia Spencer Hospice, a beacon of hope in Northampton, provides palliative care to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses, offering medical support and emotional and spiritual sustenance to patients and their families. The hospice's mission resonates deeply with Silverstone Leasing, propelling a series of fundraising activities to support the hospice's invaluable services.

Scott Norville, Managing Director at Silverstone Leasing, said: "We are thrilled at the success of the Silverstone Soccer event. Cynthia Spencer Hospice has been our charity of choice for five years.

"Many members of the Silverstone Leasing team have personal involvement with the hospice. We are fortunate to have such a fantastic local charity in Northamptonshire, and we want to do our bit to support it.

"This event was about raising money for a fantastic charity but also about getting people together after all the restrictions of the pandemic and having some face-to-face interaction. The level of play was terrific; many teams had been training for months, so the standard was excellent.

Nina Gandy, Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser at Cynthia Spencer Hospice, was on hand during the day to talk to the businesses participating, which Silverstone Leasing hopes will lead to more fundraising opportunities for the hospice with other companies.

She said: "The tournament proved a great success once again. It was brilliant to see a range of teams and new teams who played in the game back in February last year. The day had a great atmosphere, and everyone seemed excited to return to a proper event again.

"Everyone who played, attended and donated raffle prizes will make a huge difference to our patients and their families. Thank you to Ryan, Scott, and the entire team for making this a success again."
