Porsche Centre Bournemouth partnered with Lewis-Manning Hospice Care as part of their 30thAnniversary Ball. The sell-out celebratory event took place on 12th May at St Giles House, Dorset.
Jonathan Sullivan, Centre Principal said, “We are extremely proud and honoured to be supporting Lewis-Manning Hospice Care and help them celebrate their 30th Anniversary by being their headline event partner.
“We will be displaying 3 Porsche cars at the event and hosting a table on the night. We have also donated 2 driving experiences at Silverstone for the auction, as well as providing ‘favours’ for the goodie bags.
“We are always keen to be supportive of worthwhile events in our community and are conscious of the excellent work that the hospice delivers to patients & their families in Poole, East Dorset and Purbeck.
Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser Nicki Cluley added, “It is wonderful to have Porsche Centre Bournemouth on board, it will make a huge difference to our ambitious plans to raise sufficient funds at our anniversary event to enable us to recruit an additional nurse at the hospice.”
Area Community Fundraiser Vicki Gray visited Porsche Centre Bournemouth to meet with Jonathan Sullivan and the pair are pictured in front of a rare 30 year old Porsche 959, of which only 300 were produced. The car is worth approximately £1.25 million and was the fastest ever production car when it was launched, with its max speed of 198mph!

About Lewis-Manning Hospice Care
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is a charity established 29 years ago, providing extraordinary care to patients and their families facing a life-limiting illness across Poole, Purbeck and East Dorset. We offer a range of free hospice care services aimed at helping people to live well through their illness, closer to home.
These include:
– Day hospices, virtual and in person
– Creative arts & wellbeing support
– Lymphoedema clinic for cancer patients
– Breathlessness clinic
– Bereavement & family support
Every year we support nearly 500 local people and we develop new services, based on patient need and identified gaps in the area.
To do this we need to raise over £1.6m every year. Without these funds we could not exist.
Our important work increases people’s physical and social well-being, reduces isolation and loneliness, supports people to stay in their homes longer, and alleviates the huge pressures on family and carers.
