Kennedy Wilson Europe, owner and manager of Towers Business Park in Didsbury, has announced a year-long partnership with nearby hospice, Francis House, which will support the vital support it offers to children, young adults and their families facing life-limiting illnesses.

Matthew Milroy, asset manager at Kennedy Wilson Europe (KWE), said: “The partnership is an ideal opportunity to not only help support the vital work Francis House does for life-limited children and their families, but to bring the community of Towers together through a series of planned events. Since taking over the business park, we have worked hard to engage with the people who work here and events such as this really help us to do that.”
Emma Rapley, fundraising officer at Francis House, said: “We are extremely grateful to KWE for choosing us as its charity of the year. The support really will benefit all the families who rely on us. This valued partnership will continue to provide vital support for children and young adults across the North West who live with life-limiting illness.”
