Woodcocks becomes first Hospice Patron - July 2007



Leading Rossendale solicitors Woodcocks has become the first Patron of Rossendale Hospice.

Becoming hospice patrons will mean the firm formally strengthen its long-standing relationship with the hospice — as well as providing a boost to funds.

“We have supported Rossendale Hospice for many years now,” says Senior Partner Roger Medlock. “But becoming the hospice’s first ever Patron is something we are really proud of.

“ We are keenly aware of the great work it does for the community and how reliant it is on fundraising for its existence. That’s why we have decided to formalise our involvement.

“We hope that our commitment will act as a catalyst for other businesses in the community to come forward and become Patrons too.”

Hospice chairman Geoff Summers said: “We were delighted to have Woodcocks as our first Patron. The firm has an excellent reputation and it has given us wonderful backing now for many years.

“If this development encourages other local firms to follow in their footsteps then I would be absolutely delighted.

“From a practical point of view Woodcocks can offer advice on how to leave legacies for the hospice because they have a well-respected expert in the field there.”

Established in 1791 Woodcocks is one of the oldest established family firms of solicitors in the country. It has offices in Bury, Haslingden, Rawtenstall, Ramsbottom and Bacup.
