On the 6th of December 2024, our director, Matthew, swapped his office desk for the spotlight, taking the stage in front of over 100 supporters to sing his heart out. With passion, dedication, and a deep sense of purpose, he organised and performed at a special event that raised an incredible £3,000 for Rowans Hospice. 💚
But he wasn’t alone in this effort—his brother and our marketing director, Sam, played a key role by organising a charity raffle that contributed significantly to the total raised. Together, their dedication made the event an unforgettable success. 💚
Balancing his responsibilities as a dad and the leader of YesCanDo Money, Matthew poured hours into rehearsals and event planning. Meanwhile, Sam’s efforts behind the scenes ensured the raffle added an extra layer of excitement and generosity to the evening.
The Vital Role of Rowans Hospice
Rowans Hospice is a charity very close to our heart, as they provided exceptional care to our directors Matthew and Sam’s mum, and Steve’s wife, during her final weeks as she faced cancer. They ensured her comfort and dignity while offering unwavering support to their family during an incredibly difficult time.
Rowans Hospice provides essential care to individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses. Their work goes far beyond medical support, offering comfort, dignity, and compassion to patients while extending vital services like bereavement counselling and day therapy to families.
However, keeping this incredible service alive comes with immense challenges. Rowans must raise a staggering £15,000 every single day just to maintain their operations. Rising costs from the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and surging energy prices have placed additional strain on their ability to provide care.
Government funding covers only a small fraction of the hospice’s expenses, leaving them heavily reliant on community fundraising efforts. That’s why events like this one, and the generosity of people like you, are so critical.
Coming Together to Make a Difference

Thanks to the incredible generosity of those who attended, donated, or supported in other ways, we’ve made a real difference to Rowans Hospice and the families they care for.
