A SOUTH Cumbrian insurance business is backing a local hospice charity’s fundraising campaign. RAW Insurance, which is based in Kendal and Carlisle, has teamed up with St Mary’s Hospice as part of its Moments that Matter initiative. The fundraising campaign provides an opportunity for local businesses to give back to the community by becoming ‘Moment Makers’, which helps ensure that the Hospice’s vital work supporting people in south Cumbria continues. Russell Linton, account executive for RAW Insurance in south Cumbria, said the move was part of RAW’s commitment to giving back to the community. He said: “The work St Mary’s does is very close to our heart. I have personally seen the love and care they give to people near the end of their life and can’t think of a more deserving charity.
A GROWING Cumbrian insurance business is committed to giving back to the community through its support for charities and organisations across the county. Established by Ryan Roberts and Stephen Ward almost three years ago, RAW Insurance is based at Carlisle’s Kingmoor Park and has recently expanded into Kendal and south Cumbria. RAW recently joined forces with Joey’s Cafe in Kendal to pay forward dozens of cups of coffee to help people facing a tough time because of the pandemic. Russell Linton, who heads up RAW’s south Cumbria office, said the initiative aimed to help people who would appreciate a small act of generosity.
