ROWCROFT Hospice’s house clearance service has received a boost with the donation of a new van.

The clearance service was launched last summer to help generate vital funding to support its care for local patients and their families.

Now the charity will be using a brand-new, larger Luton van, sponsored by Newton Abbot housebuilder Baker Estates which has supported the charity for nearly 10 years.

The service offers a convenient, professional, and compassionate way to clear homes while supporting hospice care in South Devon.

Lisa Whittaker, Corporate Fundraiser at Rowcroft Hospice, said: ‘This service not only helps local people who need support with house clearances, but it also creates an important, sustainable source of income for the hospice.

‘We’re so grateful to Baker Estates for sponsoring our new van and helping us bring this initiative to life.

‘This is further commitment to their on-going sponsorship of our charity shop collection vans.’

Annie Williams, Sales and Marketing Director at Baker Estates, added: ‘We’re delighted to continue supporting Rowcroft Hospice, a charitable organisation that does such incredible work in our community.

‘Sponsoring the new house clearance van is a practical way for us to help Rowcroft expand its fundraising and reach more people across the region. We’re proud to be part of this next chapter in their journey.’

Inspired by the success of similar initiatives by other charities across the region, the service complements Rowcroft’s furniture collection service.

Householders can book the professional house clearance service and any re-sellable goods will be redistributed to the charity’s shops to raise funds for Rowcroft.

The service includes packing, removing the contents of a property and basic, post-clearance cleaning.
