Raising money for

The Myton Hospices

Charity Registration No. 516287

Each year The Myton Hospices care for over 1700 patients and their families at our hospices in Warwick, Rugby and our brand new facility in Coventry. We give support and reassurance, relieve symptoms and control pain, and help them make the most of every minute of their lives.

The Myton Hospices are an independent charity and all of our services are provided free of charge but the running costs for the three hospices will amount to more than £5.2million per annum, which we need to raise through voluntary donations. It is only with the help of the local community that we can continue to care for our patients at one of the most difficult times of their life.

Thank you for your support.

My story

Hi everyone.

Believe it or not we are celebrating our 60th birthdays this year and they fall within ten days of each other in July.

So we decided to set ourselves a challenge; walking the 500 miles of the Pilgrim's Way. We are setting off from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrennes on May 8th and we hope to get to Santiago do Compostella some time in the Middle of June.

We also thought that all this effort shouldn't just help us to achieve an ambition but should also help others, and so because we have both had connections with Myton Hospice over the last few years we decided to raise money for the Hospice. We hope that you will give generously so that others will benefit from our endeavours.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Myton Hamlet Hospice Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now and many thanks for your support.
