A trip down memory lane for financial adviser Phil Jones

A visit to East Cheshire Hospice was a poignant trip down memory lane for financial adviser Phil Jones.

He had not been back to the Hospice since his mum Linda died there 25 years ago when he was a university student.

He has never forgotten how much the Hospice helped his family so was delighted when his firm JPB Financial Planning became a major donor.

As part of its support, he and co-director Will Beighton raised £4,470 by running the Manchester half marathon.

Will has lived in Macclesfield since he was young, so they both know the value of the Hospice to the community.

Phil said: “Family and friends kindly sponsored us to do the run and we had the backing of many generous clients.

“We’re a firm of independent financial advisers based in Macclesfield and have a lot of clients here and across East Cheshire.

“The Hospice is close to people’s hearts. A lot of them either know someone cared for by the Hospice or are conscious it could be them needing its services one day.

“We’ve also got clients who volunteer at the Hospice in different ways. It’s a wonderful place and is well run and well respected.

“Mum died of cancer aged 53 and spent her last month there, so I’ve had first-hand experience of the care and support.

“As our company is a major donor, I went back to the Hospice on a tour. It has changed a lot, though the quality of care is still just as good.”
