Standard and Black Cat Fireworks raise ÂŁ4449 for Kirkwood Hospice

Black Cat and Standard Fireworks are proud to have raised almost £4,500 for local charity, Kirkwood Hospice by donating 100% of all sales of the charity firework “Golden Bees” which was on sale at our Factory Shop over the Bonfire Night period.

Austin Brown, Commercial Manager from Black Cat and Standard Fireworks said:
“We would like to thank everyone who supported us and bought the charity firework and the sales staff in the Factory Shop for all their hard work. We are proud to support Kirkwood Hospice – the care and support they offer to people within the Kirklees area is invaluable.”

On receipt of the cheque at our factory shop, Kate Leadbeater, Community Fundraiser at Kirkwood Hospice added: “We are very grateful to Black Cat and Standard Fireworks for their support and it is rare to receive such a large donation. Thanks to everyone who bought the firework, every penny of their purchase will help the Hospice care for local people with life threatening illness.”
