Employees at SEIB Insurance Brokers were recently given the chance to donate £2,500 to a charity of their choice. At this crucial time, the team at SEIB voted online and St. Luke’s Hospice in Basildon was the clear winner and the worthy recipient of this valuable financial help.

This donation was made possible by SEIB’s parent company, Ecclesiastical and their “Closer to You” campaign. This campaign has run annually for several years now and this is the second time that the staff at SEIB have voted for St. Luke’s Hospice as the cause they would like to support. St. Luke’s Hospice also received the £2,500 courtesy of SEIB in 2018.

St. Luke’s Hospice celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The charity supports people in Basildon and Thurrock whose illnesses are no longer curable, as well as their families and friends. The hospice is a cause that is close to the SEIB team having given end of life support to one of the company’s employees as well as care and support to a number of friends and family members of SEIB staff.

SEIB’s Chief Executive Officer Barry Fehler said: “Helping others is what SEIB is all about and I am delighted that we have been able to grant this money to St Luke’s at this moment in time when it is so desperately needed.”

Michelle Mitchell, Interim Head of Fundraising & Marketing at St. Luke’s Hospice said: “We are hugely grateful to SEIB Insurance Brokers and its employees for choosing to support the Hospice.  This generous donation will help us continue offering support to people whose illnesses are no longer curable, as well as extending care to their families, friends and carers. This support is crucial, even more so now, and we are truly thankful for this kind donation.”

SEIB’s Digital Marketing Manager Katie Oswald said: “Everyone at SEIB was invited to select a charity and submit a few reasons why they would like us to put them forward for the £2500. St. Luke’s Hospice always receives a lot of votes as the charity is so close to the hearts of our employees. We’re really pleased to be able to support them again as they really do provide such amazing care. It’s also very heart-warming to be able to share such good news at the moment.”
