Welcome back to ScaleUp Radio with Granger Forson. In this inspiring episode, we're delving into the remarkable journey of Clare Gallie, CEO of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care.

Clare's tenure has been marked by significant transformations, including a strategic shift towards providing closer-to-home services. This was a pivotal move, stemming from a deep understanding of patient needs and a drive to fill service gaps, thereby fostering stronger community ties and a revitalised organisational culture.\xa0

At the heart of Clare's leadership lies a commitment to creating an environment of open communication, honesty, and, above all, kindness. This approach has not only attracted top talent but has also cultivated a positive and loving culture within the hospice, making it a sought-after place to work.

Under Clare's guidance, Lewis-Manning Hospice Care has developed sustainable income streams through diversified fundraising efforts and charity shops. Clare's strategic financial management, coupled with her knack for involving the community in the charity's mission, has been instrumental in its growth.
