Two Swindon businessmen are set to conquer the towering heights of the Himalayas in a trek to the Everest Base Camp next month, all in aid of Prospect Hospice.
Meet the dynamic duo – Sat Nijjar, CEO of Cross Street Group, and Marc Stow, CEO of Plumbheat Services. Their mission? To raise funds and awareness for a cause that’s close to their hearts.
Sat and Marc, driven by their appreciation for the invaluable work of Prospect Hospice, have set their sights on this awe-inspiring trek scheduled for October. The journey to Everest Base Camp is no small feat. It demands resilience, determination, and a spirit of adventure – qualities that these two businessmen possess in abundance.
When asked about their motivation for taking on this monumental challenge, Sat Nijjar remarked, “We are incredibly appreciative of the care and support that Prospect Hospice provides to individuals and their loved ones during their most challenging times. This trek is our way of giving back to our community and helping the hospice continue its vital work.”

Marc Stow echoed Sat’s sentiments, saying, “Prospect Hospice plays a crucial role in our community by offering end-of-life care and support. We want to contribute to their mission in any way we can, and this trek is an opportunity to raise both funds and awareness.”
Sat and Marc organised a charity event at Wood Street Cowork which saw around fifty friends colleagues and Swindon business people come together to raise around £4000 towards their fundraising efforts.
“It was truly heartwarming to see our friends and family come together to support our cause,” Sat Nijjar expressed with gratitude. “Every pound raised will make a difference in the lives of those in need of Prospect Hospice’s care.”
Prospect Hospice is a lifeline for many in Swindon and beyond. They provide end-of-life care that is tailored to the unique needs of each individual, offering support not only to patients but also to their loved ones during challenging times. Importantly, all their services are provided free of charge, but it costs £7.5 million annually to sustain their essential work.
If you’re inspired by the dedication of Sat and Marc and want to contribute to their mission, you can make a donation on their JustGiving page: Everest Base Camp Challenge for Prospect Hospice. Every donation, big or small, brings them one step closer to their fundraising goal.
In the words of Sat Nijjar and Marc Stow, “We appreciate your support immensely, and together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those touched by Prospect Hospice’s care.”
