The very first FUSE (Fun. Ultimate. Social. Engagement) event, kindly sponsored by Ambassadors Business Breakfast Club took place at The Stones Hotel on Friday evening. This fantastic evening was organised by our very own Corporate Fundraiser Louise Compton, in collaboration with Carol McGeary of McGeary Recruitment & Consultancy.
The evening, surpassed all expectations with over 200 tickets sold in advance. With many local businesses in attendance, showcasing their products and services, the event included a silent auction, balloon tombola, competitions, a magician, fun casino, grand scalextrics and live music from The Few.
We are grateful to the new Mayor of Salisbury, Atiqul Hoque for being our special guest of the evening and for choosing Salisbury Hospice Charity as one of his chosen charities for the year.

Louise Compton, Corporate Fundraiser had the following to say,
It was a pleasure to host such a fun evening of entertainment. I am very grateful to everyone who supported us in making this evening a night to remember. The evening would have not been possible without the generosity of everyone in the corporate community all working together. I would particularly like to mention Carol McGeary, Liz Beveridge and Deanna Dykes who have given up their time to help make the event special and also to the team of volunteers from Nationwide Building Society. I am overwhelmed with the amount raised on the evening, every penny will be spent locally and go towards continuing to fund the vital services Salisbury Hospice provides to our community.
Paula, Head of Fundraising for Salisbury Hospice Charity added
The evening was an overwhelming success bringing together corporate supporters from across the region for a tremendous evening of fun. I’d like to thank everyone who generously supported the event and contributed towards its success. It was incredible to hear the evening raised over £7,000 for Salisbury Hospice.
