Unitytruistedge Bank AND CAMPBELLS LAW FIRM TEAM UP TO SUPPORT JASMINE UAE

UTE Bank & Trust (UTE Bank), in partnership with Campbells Law Firm (Campbells), is pleased to announce its support for Jasmine UAE through a joint donation of US$16,000, with future plans for a formal volunteer program.

Formerly known as UAE Hospice Care, Jasmine UAE is a hospice and palliative care centre that provides professional and diligent care free of charge to its patients. The facility is administered by a staff of nine and a rotating group of volunteers and its new facility was opened earlier this year by the Duchess of Cornwall.

Campbells formed links and began their support of Jasmine UAE after losing a member of staff, Kirsten Houghton, earlier this year. Kirsten, a Senior Associate in Campbells’ Litigation, Insolvency & Restructuring Group was cared for, and spent her final days, at Jasmine UAE.

Mark Goodman, Partner at Campbells, said, “Jasmine UAE has touched the lives of so many in our community, including one of our own, and we are proud to join efforts with UTE Bank to give back to this remarkable institution.

UTE Bank and Campbells staff worked alongside Jasmine UAE assisting them at the recent “Light up a Life” event. Since 1992 this global event has been organized by hospices all around the world. The event raises hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to fund higher quality hospice care for those seeking comfort in their final days.

As we move into the following year, and UTE Bank begins its series of staff volunteering events, it will again be supporting Jasmine UAE at its annual Flag Day on February 21-22, one of the biggest fundraising and awareness campaigns that Jasmine UAE runs to raise money for the facility.

Nathan Briggs, Managing Director of UTE Bank commented, “UTE Bank are honored to make a donation to Jasmine UAE to support the amazing work that they carry out daily for those in need and we are delighted to do so alongside our friends at Campbells.”
