Our charity for 2026: Havens Hospices

February 27, 2026

For 2026, Alan Blunden is proud to support Havens Hospices (Registered Charity Number 1022119) as our Charity of the Year.

Havens Hospices, provides specialist care to babies, children and adults living with incurable conditions, as well as vital support for their families and carers. The charity delivers its services free of charge and relies heavily on fundraising and community support to continue its work.

Havens Hospices, which includes Fair Havens and Little Havens, was selected following company‑wide suggestions and an internal staff poll, reflecting the importance our team places on supporting organisations that deliver essential care within our wider community.

Our support will run throughout 2026, with fundraising activity taking place across the year. This will include staff‑led initiatives, attendance at selected Havens Hospices events and, where appropriate and subject to availability, volunteering opportunities.

Our focus is on raising awareness and contributing as much as we can through ongoing, practical support. Havens Hospices must raise over £208,000 each week to be there for everyone who needs them.

Funds raised will be donated directly to Havens Hospices to support its ongoing work.

“Havens Hospices carries out vital work for people living with incurable conditions, as well as for their families and carers. Being able to support that work over the course of the year is something we are proud to be involved in. This reflects our wider commitment to community support and to contributing in a considered, long-term way where we can.”

Faye Vince, Corporate Fundraising Officer at Havens Hospices said:

“The support of local businesses is invaluable to everything we do at Havens Hospices. It enables us to continue providing the specialist care and compassion  our families deserve – completely free of charge, at a time when they need it most. Beyond the vital funds raised, this partnership helps shine a light on the remarkable work our teams carry out across the community each and every day.”
