color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">St David's Hospice Care provides free community-based hospice care to people with cancer or any other life threatening illness living within Caerphilly, Monmouthshire, Newport, Torfaen and in South and Mid Powys. Last year they cared for 940 patients and their families in Caerphilly/ 705 in Monmouthshire/ 777 in Newport/ 591 in Torfaen. <span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">In addition to the four teams of Clinical Nurse Specialists, St. David's has a 'Hospice at Home' team of nurses and healthcare assistants who provide hands-on care and support. St David's also has a Rapid Response service to ensure that their patients can receive care very quickly should their condition deteriorate. <span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Further support is provided by their Family Support Team, comprising of social workers, welfare rights advisers, children's support worker, counsellors, bereavement support and complementary therapists. We have three Day Hospices, one near Pontypool, one in Ystrad Mynach and one in Brecon, as well as two Resource Centres, one in Caldicot and one in Monmouth. The fourth Day Hospice, which will be based in Newport, will be opening later this year. <span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">St. David's Hospice Care provides patients with real choice about where they receive their care and where they spend their final days. Unfortunately, this does have financial implications for the Charity. It costs St. David's approximately £5.5 million each year to provide their services, and they receive less than 18% of their funding from the statutory sector. They have 30 charity shops, a weekly lottery and organise fundraising events which all contribute much needed funds. <span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail.
