Weldmar legacy advert creators shortlisted for charity award

Gifts left to Weldmar Hospicecare in wills funds one in three patients who need end of life care.

It’s a hugely important source of fundraising income, which is why you will have seen advertisements encouraging people to consider leaving a gift on social media, the backs of local buses, in local magazines, and on local radio.

Weldmar has even invested in television adverts, which have been shown locally via Sky TV and were created by Poole based Mambo Media.

The agency has been nominated as ‘Best Creative Partner’ in this year’s Legacy Giving Awards. Weldmar are previous double winners at the awards, picking up Most Innovative Legacy Campaign and Outstanding Achievement by a Legacy Fundraising Team in 2023.

Ed Willson is Creative Director at Mambo media, and says: “Working with the team at Weldmar to create this emotive TV advert was a big highlight for us at Mambo Media. What made it even more special was the way so many people rallied around it – from volunteers and supporting actors to props being sourced and even a staff member’s own home being used as a filming location. To see the final piece nominated for a Legacy Giving Award is a testament to a wonderful collaboration.”

Here’s the advert that led to the nomination – good luck Mambo Media and thank you for your support!
