A BRADFORD firm has chosen the children’s hospice Forget Me Not as its charity of the year for 2023.

Staff at compressed air and fluid power specialists Thorite chose the charity which provides vital support to children, families and parents-to-be across West Yorkshire.

The hospice will benefit from fund-raising across all ten Thorite sales and service centres nationwide.

Thorite recently handed a £2,058 cheque to last year’s chosen charity, Heart Research UK at its Bradford headquarters.

Managing director Stephen Wright said: “Thorite colleagues have shown enormous generosity over the past year, putting time and energy into a number of fundraising events to raise money for HRUK.

“In a company-wide vote for our 2023 Charity of the Year, Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice was a clear winner. Thorite considers family to be at the heart of their ethos, so Forget Me Not was the obvious choice.

“We’re looking forward to supporting the vital work of the charity in the year ahead.”

Forget Me Not provides care and support at its Russell House Hospice, in Huddersfield, and in families’ own homes.

A spokesperson for the children’s hospice said: "We’re delighted to have been chosen by Thorite as their 2023 charity.”
