Taking to the Sky to Raise Thousands for Hospice Charity

Nathan Burke took to the skies to raise vital funds for a hospice local to Burke Bros Moving Group's head office in Wolverhampton, after losing his Mom to cancer. 
The fundraising sky-dive, 'Jumping for JK' was in memory of Jill (Gary's former partner) who was diagnosed with stage four cancer in early December 2016 and very sadly passed away, only a matter of weeks later in January 2017.
 
During Jill's illness, Nathan became aware of the exceptional work that Compton Hospice do; a charity who has been supporting patients facing life-limiting illnesses, and their families, for over 30 years. Their purpose is to make a difference to people's lives when their illness is no longer curable. 
Nathan's fundraising has raised over £6,500 with thanks to numerous individuals who  knew Jill as well as organisations associated with Burke Bros Moving Group that have supported him in his goal to raise funds in memory of his Mum.

 
Tackling Food Poverty
We like to take the opportunity to support and work with charities local to our head office in Wolverhampton and are particularly pleased to be able to play our part in helping the vital work carried out by The Good Shepherd  in Wolverhampton.
As part of our removal services, we will collect any unwanted non-perishable items (tinned foods or foods in packets) from customers who are perhaps moving abroad and are  unable to ship food items, or from customers who just want to clear their kitchen cupboards before moving, Burke Bros Moving Group will then donate the food items to The Good Shepherd, where they will be distributed to the homeless and those in need in Wolverhampton through their food bank and soup kitchen services.
The Good Shepherd help to meet the basic needs of some of the most vulnerable people in the area. Since the project in Wolverhampton began in 2003, the project has grown to support 250 people each day. As a well-established company in Wolverhampton, we are pleased to play a part in tackling food poverty in our local area.
