Re-launches its Covid-affected boutique to support hospice palliative care

A good example of an alliance between profit and non profit: this is the initiative that sees the collaboration between the boutique “Cristina Altre Idee” in Meldola and the Amici dell’Hospice association, united in a commercial operation for charitable purposes. It is a loyalty card that entitles you to a 10% discount on purchases at Cristina Bacchi’s showroom, followed by a 5% donation of the boutique’s receipt to the Amici dell’Hospice association. “I am not hiding behind a finger – explains Cristina Bacchi, owner of the boutique – this initiative was also born for a relaunch of my business penalized by the Covid 19 emergency, but it aims to promote, at the same time, the Amici dell’Hospice association, that supports the activity in palliative care in hospices (Forlimpopoli and Dovadola) and in home care “.

Therefore, from the end of October, the Fidelity Card (valid for one year) will be available to anyone, in the Cristina Bacchi showroom (Str. Meldola, 9, Teodorano at the Grafikamente agency (via Bertini, 96 / L – tel. 0543.798303)) or at the association’s headquarters (c / o Studio Agasisti, Piazza XX Settembre, 13 – tel. 0543.376101). “We have gladly joined – says Alvaro Agasisti, president of the Amici dell’Hospice association – in this initiative that combines economic aspects with solidarity purposes for the benefit of our association, which lives exclusively on donations. I do not hide that the Covid19 emergency and the cancellation of various charitable events that have supported us for years, have strongly reduced our income, compared to the services on our part. offered to AUSL Romagna in the framework of Palliative Care, which has remained unchanged, so the Cristina Altre Idee loyalty card seems to me an excellent operation to promote quality clothing lines, together with Support for our activities “.

“Currently the Amici dell’Hospice association – explains Marco Maltoni, scientific reference of the association and director of the Ausl Romagna Palliative Care unit, Forlì – represents a valid support to the AUSL Romagna itself, since it integrates the health and care services guaranteed by the public body, with two nurses and an OS dedicated to home care, with a doctor located at the Hospice Dovadola and a physiotherapist, at the service of the Hospice users. It also offers two other types of support: a group of volunteers who meet periodically with the sick to keep them company and the professional service of a hairdresser and an expert in music therapy, always for the benefit of Hospice users ”.
