The funds were raised through 216 individual donations. Mr Perez stated he was "incredibly proud" of the team's achievement, adding that the amount raised exceeded his initial expectations. He expressed gratitude to clients, friends, contacts, and the local community for their support.
A group of 20 team members visited the hospice's Kenton Grange site to present the cheque. During their visit, they learned how their fundraising would contribute to care services and saw sound therapy equipment, previously funded by Mr Perez, which supports specialist sessions in memory of his wife.
St Luke’s chief executive Jo Pearce acknowledged RDP Newmans' "remarkable commitment, kindness and generosity".
