Severn Hospice was presented with a donation of £500 to help fund patient care at its facility in Bicton Heath.
Awards of £250 each were also given to Headway Shropshire, which supports people with brain or head injuries, and the disability charity Taking Part.
The West Brom invited its customers to choose which local causes would benefit from the Community Counts scheme, which is running in all 38 of its branches. Severn Hospice received the most votes, thereby securing the £500 grant.
Mike Perry, the hospice’s community fundraising adviser, said: “This kind donation will help us continue providing specialist end of life care for people across the region who are living with complex, incurable illnesses.
“We are an independent charity and two thirds of our revenue comes from public fundraising. Every gift and every donation is gratefully received because it means we can carry on delivering care to local people at their greatest time of need.”
Severn Hospice first opened in 1989 and has since cared for more than 19,000 patients and their families. As well as Bicton Heath, the charity has additional facilities at Apley Castle in Telford and in Newtown, Powys.
The donation was made by the West Brom’s Shrewsbury branch manager Jayne Tomkinson, who said: “We really believe in supporting the community and the good causes that do so much to improve the lives of local people.
“It has been a privilege to spend time with the various charities our customers have chosen to support and I know the grants we are offering will be put to tremendous use.”
