Ashgate Hospice is an independent registered charity (number 700636) that provides specialist palliative care (care to relieve pain rather than cure) and support, both at the Hospice and within the community, for adults and their families across North Derbyshire. Everything we do at Ashgate Hospice gives patients and their families all the help and care they need to continue living for every day.

It costs Ashgate Hospice £4 million a year to provide these valuable services, of which £2.3 million needs to be raised purely through voluntary contributions and fundraising.

The fancy drag race is being held in order to raise funds for the Hospice and is also being held to give men both young and old, the opportunity to run round in a dress before having a beer.  Win-win situation.
