The charity&nbsp;works in partnership with the NHS to support patients, their families, staff and volunteers at Arthur Rank House. The hospice provided us with an infinite amount of support during our dad's time there, and we hope that by raising money we can in some way help others who face such difficult experiences. This year they must raise over &pound;1 million to meet ther financial commitments at the Hospice, and we'd really like to help them reach this target.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><br></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">To make life simpler, if you fancy donating &pound;10 you can text '</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">CSST71&nbsp;&pound;10'</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;to 70070 and your sponsorship will go straight onto our page.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 26.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Here are some examples of how your support can help: &pound;30 provides a counselling session for patients and relatives, &pound;250 provides one night's Hospice at Home nursing care, and &pound;1000 keeps the Day Hospice running for one day.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 26.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Thank you in advance for anything you can spare, we're very grateful.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 26.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000;">Polly, Max and Alice&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #5c514b;"></span></p> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
