We are thrilled to announce that Park Cakes, a global company with local roots in Bolton, has officially joined our Patron family as an Emerald Patron. This significant commitment underscores Park Cakes' dedication to supporting local individuals facing life-limiting illnesses and their families.

For over 80 years, Park Cakes has been one of the UK’s leading cake and hot dessert manufacturers, making, baking, and delivering the very best quality products to customers all across the world. Their decision to support us highlights their strong community values.

As an Emerald Patron, Park Cakes will play a vital role in enabling us to continue providing essential services and compassionate care and support to the Bolton community. These services are vital for families facing life-limiting illnesses, helping them to create lasting memories, and caring for patients throughout their illness, helping to improve their wellbeing and quality of life. 

Ryan Battersby, Health, Safety & Environmental Manager and Corporate Social Responsibility Lead at Park Cakes, expressed the company's motivation for this partnership: "The hospice is an integral part of our Bolton community, with many of our colleagues having had family or friends who have experienced their amazing work first-hand. It was important that we recognise that and support their continued dedication to patient care, by becoming a friend & patron."

Kathryn Willett, Supporter Relationships Manager at Bolton Hospice, said, "We are so grateful to Park Cakes for making the decision to support local hospice care – thank you. Their commitment as an Emerald Patron will make a tangible difference to the lives of countless people in Bolton, helping us to continue offering compassionate care when it's needed most."

The partnership with Park Cakes highlights the strong spirit of community that thrives within Bolton. We rely heavily on the generosity of local businesses and individuals to sustain its vital work, and the addition of Park Cakes as an Emerald Patron is a testament to this shared commitment.
