An Ipswich based recruitment agency is stepping up to sponsor this year’s Midnight Walk for St Elizabeth Hospice.

Tennial Personnel has given its backing to the annual event, which last year saw about 2,200 people help raise more than £150,000 for the charity.

St Elizabeth Hospice’s flagship event returns for its 12th year in May – starting from a new location at Trinity Park.

Tennial Personnel also sponsors local football club, Trimley Red Devils.

Managing director, Dennis Tennial said: “When St Elizabeth Hospice contacted us, I was convinced that this was something we could and should help with.

“The issues that the hospice deals with affect us all, directly or indirectly, and it’s vital that they have the support they need.”

St Elizabeth Hospice’s Midnight Walk sets of on May 12. Full details are available online at stelizabethhospice.org.uk.
