LOCAL BUSINESS COACH DONATES FEES TO HELP ST GILES
| Published: 21st April 2008 20:43 |
Mark Buchan, whose Lichfield-based company New Thought Leader specialises in executive coaching, will donate every penny raised from the local businesses he works with until the end of May.
He explains: "I would like to give a little extra back to the wider community by supporting St Giles, as the work they do in the local area is so important."
"I chose the charity because my mother died of cancer and I wish she could have received the same care and support as patients do at our local hospice."
Mark's executive coaching helps business leaders to solve their workplace problems and achieve their objectives. He is currently working with executives from companies in the FTSE 100, as well as growing firms.
Peter Holliday, St Giles Hospice Chief Executive, says: "We welcome Mark's generous offer to donate fees from the local work he carries out, and hope that companies take this opportunity to help their people develop new skills while supporting the specialist care services we provide."
Mark's offer applies to local businesses on a first come first served basis. To find out more information on how executive coaching can help you or your organisation contact Mark on 07761234845 or email mark@newthoughtleader.com
St Giles Hospice is a registered charity offering high-quality medical and nursing care for people with cancer and other serious illnesses, as well as providing support for their families and carers.
Patients come from across the hospice's catchment area, which ranges from Ashby de la Zouch and Atherstone in the east, to Cannock and Walsall in the west - and from Burton and Uttoxeter in the north, to Sutton Coldfield and Coleshill in the south.
Care is offered at the hospice's facilities in Sutton Coldfield and Whittington between Lichfield and Tamworth, or in patients' own homes across the region.
St Giles spends over £5million every year providing its specialist services. With just a third of this funded by the Government, the registered charity relies heavily on donations and fundraising.
