Ballyclare-based homebuilder Hagan Homes has pledged to donate a further £165,000, over a five-year period, to the Northern Ireland Hospice’s palliative care nursing team in Ballyclare. The donation is on top of the firm’s current partnership with the Hospice, which is to supply the charity with £33,000 annually for three years to fund the role of a Ballyclare-based community nurse. The renewed commitment means the homebuilder will now support the invaluable post for a total of eight years, which will offer huge support to those needing specialist palliative care in the local area. It is this specialist palliative care following the loss of a much-loved family friend, Daphne Evans, that prompted Hagan Homes to extend its partnership with the NI Hospice. The Hagan family experienced directly the immense support the charity delivers when it assisted Daphne during her final days and it is in her memory Hagan Homes has extended its donation period by a further five years. www.haganhomes.co.uk HAGAN HOMES FUNDS SALARY OF BALLYCLARE COMMUNITY PALLIATIVE CARE NURSE
