Malvern's Finest Turn Out

马尔文的最佳结果

Malvern's elite graced the evening with their presence. Local luminary Dan Pallett, the revered BBC Midlands Today reporter and sports anchor, presided as the host. Meanwhile, renowned Malvern auctioneer and television personality Philip Serrell wielded his gavel, orchestrating the auctioning of 17 lots that amassed a staggering £12,000 for the cause. Malvern Mayor Coun Clive Hooper, who has chosen St. Richard's as his mayoral charity, was also in attendance.

马尔文的精英们的到来为当晚增光添彩。当地名人、受人尊敬的《BBC Midlands Today》记者和体育主播丹·帕莱特 (Dan Pallett) 担任主持人。与此同时，著名的马尔文拍卖师和电视名人菲利普·塞雷尔挥舞着他的木槌，精心策划了 17 件拍卖品的拍卖，为这项事业筹集了惊人的 12,000 英镑。选择圣理查德作为市长慈善机构的马尔文市市长克莱夫·胡珀 (Clive Hooper) 也出席了会议。

"A Truly Inspiring Occasion"

“一个真正鼓舞人心的时刻”

Coun Hooper couldn't contain his awe for the event. "The setting was nothing short of breathtaking, and the outpouring of generosity through the raffle and auction was truly inspiring," he remarked. He highlighted the staggering costs associated with running St. Richard's, an annual sum exceeding £10 million. "The hospice relies heavily on voluntary support, including donations, gifts, and events, as NHS funding covers a mere fraction of its expenses," he noted.

胡珀议员无法抑制对这一事件的敬畏。 “现场布置简直令人叹为观止，通过抽奖和拍卖所流露出的慷慨之情确实令人鼓舞，”他评论道。他强调了圣理查德医院的运营成本惊人，每年的费用超过 1000 万英镑。他指出：“临终关怀医院严重依赖自愿支持，包括捐款、礼物和活动，因为 NHS 的资金只覆盖其费用的一小部分。”

Mayoral Support

市长支持

Coun Hooper expressed his pride in supporting St. Richard's through his mayoral charity initiative. "We gathered for a delightful Sunday lunch in February, raising over £2,300. And our beloved Mayor's Peaks Challenge returns on May 4th. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference, even if your fitness may inspire second thoughts later!" he quipped.

胡珀议员对通过市长慈善倡议支持圣理查德学院表示自豪。 “我们在 2 月份聚在一起享用了一顿愉快的周日午餐，筹集了超过 2,300 英镑。我们深爱的市长山峰挑战赛将于 5 月 4 日回归。不要错过这个做出改变的机会，即使您的健康状况可能会在以后引起您的重新考虑！ ”他打趣道。

Community Engagement

社区参与

Coun Hooper extended an open invitation to the Town Council's Civic Service on April 20th. Attendees will delve into the crucial role of local groups and individuals in fostering community engagement. Refreshments will be served to enhance the celebratory spirit.

4 月 20 日，胡珀议员向镇议会公民服务处发出了公开邀请。与会者将深入探讨当地团体和个人在促进社区参与方面的关键作用。届时将提供茶点以增强庆祝气氛。

"The funds raised will empower us to continue providing compassionate care to patients, their loved ones, and the bereaved," she stated. "We are humbled by the support of our patrons, including Coun Hooper, who has made St. Richard's his mayoral charity."

圣理查德临终关怀医院筹款总监特里西娅·卡维尔（Tricia Cavell）向所有为盛大晚宴的成功做出贡献的人们表示衷心的感谢。她说：“筹集到的资金将使我们能够继续为患者、他们的亲人和死者家属提供富有同情心的护理。” “我们对赞助人的支持深感荣幸，其中包括胡珀议员，他将圣理查德教堂作为自己的市长慈善机构。”

May this remarkable evening serve as an enduring testament to the transformative power of community spirit.
