Bury Gin Launched To Support Hospice

Written on 30 January 2025

Bury Hospice has launched two deliciously flavoured gins, with all proceeds supporting the hospice.

The newly crafted, Bury Gin, comes in two distinct flavours: Pink, and Rhubarb and Ginger (50cl), produced by the Bolton Gin Company.

According to the leading data, insights and consulting company, Kantar, gin is the nation’s favourite spirit, having overtaken whisky.

The demand for a fresh-tasting drink, while socialising, has led to the increased popularity of gin in recent years.

The Bolton Gin Company was established in 2018, and now has five brands which are stocked nationwide and shipped further afield.

Bury Hospice’s partnership with the Bolton Gin Company is the perfect fit because the distillery has the strong ethos of supporting local charitable causes.

Paul Welch, director of the Bolton Gin Company, said: “We love to support the local community.”

"The work that Bury Hospice does is invaluable, you cannot put a price on the phenomenal work involved in providing the best palliative and end-of-life care.”

“It is an honour as a small business owner to be a part of raising money for such a fantastic cause – Bury Hospice has my wholehearted support.”

Bury Gin is unique because, not only is it distinctly flavoured, each purchase makes a huge difference by supporting the specialist care of patients across the borough.

Bury Hospice is heavily dependent upon the generosity of its community to ensure the ongoing provision of vital care services.

The launch of Bury Gin serves as a new way of broadening the support and reach of the hospice.

Anthony Lord, head of commercial income, corporate fundraising and lottery compliance at the Bury Hospice, said: “Bury Gin is a local product that will support many local people.”

“We hope that it will prove very popular, as all income generated from sales will go towards providing care for those living with life limiting illnesses.”

“I’d like to thank Paul Welch and the team for being so supportive.”
