Mary Ann Evans Hospice management are making Jacqueline Leake redundant from her role as Fundraising Manager.
Liz Hancock, chief executive at the Mary Ann Evans Hospice has reported the following;
"The hospice has had two significant deficit accounting years and all departments have, and continue to be, under review as we look at ways to save money whilst identifying sustainable income".
"Our focus, as always, remains firmly on our clinical services that we continue to provide for our patients and their families".
"Obviously costs continue to rise and much of this is out of our control with the things like the introduction of the living wage and auto enrolment. It is also getting harder to raise funds, especially sustainable funds and sadly this situation is not unique to us".So with that in mind, particularly the statement about raising funds, it makes absolutely no sense to get rid of the person who co-ordinates fundraising events and brings in valuable income for the hospice.
This decision is short-sighted and I am unable to understand how the hospice will benefit.
I have witnessed how extremely hardworking Jacqueline is; she puts her all into everything and does a fantastic job. To lose such an invaluable person and resource would be a travesty. Jacqueline not only does a superb job of fundraising, she's the face of Mary Ann Evans Hospice
Please show your support and sign the petition to try to reverse the decision to make Jacqueline redundant.

I have been staring at the budget reports all morning thinking about how strange it is to cut the very person responsible for bringing in the money because you are worried about not having enough funds. The silence coming from management is pretty loud right now but I am still working on getting a meeting set up to talk about why this is such a bad move for the hospice.

This doesn't make sense at all. People need a real face to help with rasing funds - what a happy fun lady she is.
Jacqueline is a most hard working, dedicated and caring person who has given 110% effort and commitment to the Mary Ann Evans Hospice and this is how she is to be repaid? A very short sighted decision saying in one hand that fundraising is down and then making the chief fundraiser redundant. For the sake of the future of the hospice I urge you to reconsider this crazy decision.
Jacqueline is the face of the hospice. She is hardworking and well respected and people support the hospice because of the respect they have for her. Raising funds is not an easy task these days but people need to have a human connection, someone that they can relate to,and I feel this decision is very short sighted.
I've seen firsthand how dedicated Jackie is, working alot of unsocial hours to raise money and awareness. Decision doesn't make sense, I d never hear of the Hospice if it wasn't for her. Please reconsider.
Jacqueline has supported the hospice for a number of years, its very sad to see her go. It is really hard to raise the much needed money to allow the hospice to support the people in North Warwickshire and times are hard for so many people but for those that use the service, they find it invaluable. Without support and people raising money, the care won't be there in the future
Please keep her on, she was doing a great job!
Why why why are you getting rid of Jacquelin . The Hospice has got to Political . Some have gone Power Crazy . Those are the ones that should be gone . Jacquelin is so good with people and cares so much and has put so Many many unpaid hours into fund raising . If there was a God them he would point his finger at the right person . Amen

I really can not see how this can ever be justified for any reason. Surely a Fundraising Manager is at the heart of the Hospice and thereby one of the most important job roles? Maybe the Chief Executive position should be reviewed if it's purely down to economics...
