The Pendleside Hospice is a registered charity meeting the needs of people with cancer or life-threatening illnesses in the Burnley and Pendle area. It was where my dad was cared for until he died in February 2007.
The purpose of a hospice is to improve the quality of life for its patients. This is achieved by medical and specialist nursing care, and the provision of social, emotional and spiritual support for the patient and their family and carers. Care is given unconditionally and free of charge to adults who need it regardless of religious or cultural belief. Please help me to help them.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Many thanks,
Mark
