Dove House Hospice have been caring for people in Hull for almost 40 years. They provide exceptional end of life care, therapy for those with life limiting illnesses and bereavement support for grieving family and friends. Dove House Hospice are a fantastic organisation, and we’re proud to be able to donate excess stock to help them continue to carry out their services.

The Care Workers Charity play a vital role in supporting the carers in our society, those who provide essential care to people in need. The charity provides grants to carers in crisis and have been exceptionally stretched by the impacts of Covid-19 due to the new requirement for carers to self-isolate. Opera have provided cash donations to help the Care Workers Charity facilitate their important work.

The Rapid Relief Team (RRT) is a charitable organisation providing day-to-day support to local communities as well as fast action relief to emergency and support services in times of crisis. The RRT have been on hand during many of the UK’s disasters in recent years, including the Grenfell tower fire in 2017 and the South Yorkshire floods in 2019.

Emmaus helps and supports people out of homelessness by providing meaningful work, a home and a sense of belonging that can’t be underestimated.

Opera have provided stock donations to the Hull & East Rising centre to help with fundraising.

BHF are working towards a world free from the feart of heart and circulatory disease. Since they were founded, deaths from heart and circulatory diseases have been cut by more than half – but there is a long way to go.

Opera have provided stock donations to the Hull Furniture & Electrical Store to support their fundraising efforts.

Care homes all over the country work incredibly hard to provide positive experiences for their residents, usually on very tight budgets. We’re often impressed by the imaginative fundraising activities that carers and support staff create in order to be able to provide additional activities.

We set aside a budget allowance to support the fundraising activities of care homes in the East Yorkshire region in the form of donated raffle prizes.

Email enquiries@operabeds.com if your care home is running a fundraiser and are looking for support.
