Today at Hopkins HQ we hosted our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning which we transformed into an exciting ‘Bake Off Challenge’. Congratulations to our Star Baker,ย Ellie Parkerย who received the most votes for her sweet take on a ‘Burger and Fries’! โญ Her baking skills and culinary artistry were nothing short of spectacular!
This years event had a remarkable turnout with some stunning homemade treats, raising funds to support Macmillan’s outstanding work which is close to many of our hearts.
To all our incredible team at Hopkins who contributed to the baking (and faking!), voting, and generous donations โ Thank you!!!!! ๐๐

We had the honour of presenting a remarkable cheque worth ยฃ6,633.41 toย Rowans Hospice! This exceptional amount was made possible through our successful skydive fundraiser, which was organised and supported by our incredible team here at Hopkins.
Rowans Hospice is an organisation that provides invaluable care and support to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. Their work is truly inspiring, and many of us at Hopkins have personally witnessed the impact they have on the lives of patients and their families. Motivated by their remarkable efforts, we decided to take the leap and embark on an exhilarating skydiving adventure, all with the aim of making a meaningful difference.
Thanks to the dedication and efforts of our team, as well as the support from sponsors and friends, we have not only met but surpassed our fundraising target! The funds will aid Rowans Hospice in continuing their vital services, bringing comfort and support to patients and families in their time of need.
Our recent charity fundraiser for Rowans Hospice has ended on a high (13,500 feet high to be exact!)
Well done to all the team that braved the challenge, we are proud to have raised ยฃ6,633.41!!
Thank you to everyone that donated, we know this will make a positive impact for our local community.

Hopkins are proud to have sponsored the Under 8’s Hedge End United FC for the 2022-23 season coached by our Design Director Jason Parker.
Supporting the communities we work and interact with is important to us. Well done boys on a great season! โฝ๏ธ
Hopkins have a long history in supporting charities and sports clubs in the local community and this year is no different. Back in July 2021 Hopkins sponsored the newly formed Hedge End United FC Under 7โs who play the Eastleigh & District Mini Soccer league at Stoneham Park. Hedge End United are a well-established club with teams at most age groups from under 7โs through to under 14โs. The clubโs ethos very much aligns with Hopkins with a focus on teamwork, respect, sportsmanship and playing with a smile on your face! Now the season is drawing to a close, we wanted to give you an update on the boysโ progress. The team have done amazing this season, from losing their first game 10โ1, they are now holding their own in the top league and playing some great football at times. More importantly the boys are all playing with a smile on their faces and have become best of friends. A big well done to all the boys from us at Hopkins! โฝ๏ธ

Talk Mental Health launched their #385challenge fundraising event, which took place during Menโs Health Awareness Week (14th to 20th June) where they challenged people around the UK to attempt 385 of any physical activity during that week.
It was to raise awareness of menโs health, the impact such things as; Toxic Masculinity, is having on males of all ages and the over 385 men who die through suicide every month in the UK. Of the 6.500 people lost to suicide annually, 75% are men and it is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45.
We are proud to sponsor the founder of Talk Mental Health and the #385challenge, Nick Wilson, who is currently undertaking a gruelling 385mile cycle as his #385challenge. Follow his story here: https://givepenny.com/talkmentalhealthuk_385challenge
We were delighted to spend some time with The Rainbow Centre this afternoon and watch an adult and child session in progress.
The work they carry out with Conductive Education and their positive approach in focusing on what a person can do rather than what they can’t do is truly amazing.
We were thrilled to be able to donate ยฃ800 to the charity, thanks to our successful golf day earlier in the year.
Further information regarding the charity and the amazing work they carry out can be found hereย https://www.rainbowcentre.org/
Following on from our support to local apprenticeship fairs at Portsmouth and Southampton Football Clubs earlier this year, J&B Hopkins have been supporting local schools to promote the benefits of apprenticeships and inspiring young people to take an exciting leap into the construction industry be it an electrician, plumber or to express their creative in design.
Why not take a few minutes and watch a recent apprenticeship video staring our very own Callum Harman, Electrical Apprentice and Phil Lambden, Managing Director โ both sharing their views of apprenticeships and highlighting the importance of organisations opening up their doors and pathing the way for the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EgGenXe57s

Letter received 10.08.18 from Corporate Fundraiser, Gemma Cardenย
Dear J&B Hopkins,
Whether we are caring for a patient’s well-being during the night, enabling local people to live well with their diagnosis, or supporting a child as they learn to cope with the loss of a loved one, Rowans Hospice will be there thanks to your decision to donate.
Your gift of ยฃ1000 in respect of your corporate golf day is very much appreciated and will be put to great use here at the Hospice, thank you. Your donation will help us to continue our care and services to the local community, free of charge.
As you may be aware, we have privately launched our Silver Jubilee Appeal, with the public launch on the 6th October at our annual open day. The appeal is an additional fundraising target of ยฃ7.5 million in total over three years to refurbish our Hospice, so the building matches the platinum service we offer our patients and visitors. If you would like more information about the Silver Jubilee Appeal, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Last year our supporters helped us to do some incredible things and we are truly grateful to have your support too. It has been 23 years since we first opened our doors and today we continue to provide care to local people thanks to the kindness of people like you.
Rowans Hospice provides a wonderful, caring environment for so many people, thank you for your support and belief in the work we do.
Yours Sincerely
Gemma Carden
Corporate Fundraiser
