CONCLUSION

This is a fantastic partnership for both the Hospice and WCC. It provides an easy method of donating and reduces landfill which the public perceive very favourably. With the large footfall these sites attract it raises the profile of the Hospice and generates high turnover – I would encourage anyone to think about a similar project!
