WLMG donates car to local hospice

A garage in Reading has donated a lease car to Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent Hospice to assist them in delivering valuable care in the community.

WLMG, on Rose Kiln Lane, has donated the car for four months and it will be used by Sue Ryder Nurses from the hospice’s community team, who provide expert and compassionate palliative care to patients with life-limiting conditions at home in the community.

It is estimated that the new car will help the team make an average of 60 visits to patients every month.

The vehicle will also be used by the hospice’s fundraising team as they work hard to grow support to ensure local people have access to hospice services when they need them. Last year Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent Hospice provided 130,000 hours of support to patients and their families across Berkshire. Its palliative care is free for patients and their families, but it costs us £4.7m per year to provide it, which equates to £13,000 per day.

.Georgie Sullivan, Deputy Hospice Director at Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent Hospice said: “We’re so grateful to WLMG for the car they have provided, which allows us to carry out our vital work in the local community, as well as save crucial funds which can be used to support our services.

“Our Sue Ryder nurses and healthcare teams have always been there for patients and families at the most difficult time of their lives. With the help from our generous supporters like WLMG, our teams can continue to go above and beyond, filling last days with love and helping to give families a better goodbye.”

Gareth Monks, Group Marketing Manager, at WLMG, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent Hospice and to donate this car to assist them in their incredible day-to-day work. It is a charity which is close to our hearts and we’re proud to support them.”

FINANCE DISCLOSURE

WLMG Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows WLMG Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
