When approached by Willen Hospice for some robust waterproof jackets to protect their Hospice at Home nursing team from the elements, local adventure travel clothing company Rohan did not hesitate to help.
Solid, reliable, dependable, refined, understated - and comfortable in any environment, is how Rohan describe their new Mountain Pass Jacket. Perfect for the nurses of Willen Hospice.
In total 11 jackets have been provided for the hospice at home nursing team. A spokesperson for Rohan explained:
"The nurses of Willen Hospice provide a vital service for the local community and we were delighted to be able to help them. As specialists in technically clever clothing we knew that our products would provide vital protection from the elements as well as looking smart and professional."
Denise Robson, Hospice at Home Co-ordinator, commented:
“Most of our work involves us being out in the community, looking after people in their own homes in all types of weather. These jackets will ensure that we all look co-ordinated and professional, as well as providing us the protection against the elements that we need.” Images: Top right - Tim Jasper, Design Director for Rohan hands over jackets to Melanie Fletcher, Marketing and Communications Manager, Willen Hospice, and members of the Hospice at Home Nursing Team.
