A Business Club is the newest initiative from East Cheshire Hospice with several organisations already signed up as members.
The new venture was launched at Bollington Brewery, one of the founders.
The Business Club aims to forge closer links with companies keen to support end-of-life care.
The group is also a good business networking opportunity.
Three or four meetings will be held each year with the next gathering at the Art Fair in October.

Corporate Fundraiser Luke Oldham said: “The Hospice is one of the most trusted and well-respected organisations in the area.
“By joining our community of supportive, socially-conscious businesses, you’ll be aligning your organisation with a cause that matters deeply to local people.
“You’ll become part of a network committed to make an impact – a group of businesses who care about their staff, their community, and their legacy.

“Together, we can continue delivering exceptional care for local people, both now and in the future.
“We want them to have a better understanding of what we’re doing so we’ll invite them to the Hospice to see what they are supporting.”
“The Business Club has a range of packages so businesses can choose the level of support that works best for them.” More details from www.echospice.org.uk/the-business-club or contact Luke on 01625 789105 or email luke.oldham@echospice.org.uk
