St David's Foundation Hospice Care

Charity Registration No. 1010576

Imagine being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness...where would you turn? Every year, St. David's Foundation provides Hospice care to over 2500 people with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses in the County Borough's of Caerphilly, Torfaen, Monmouth & Newport. Most people feel most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by things they know and people they love, so that's where St. David's provides most of their care - in the home. Each year it costs over £4.5 million to provide our services, your support really does make a difference.

My story

A few of us at PKF have stupidly plucked up the courage to dangle off Newport transporter bridge in the name of charity. This is going to be a 177ft abseil in the middle of October so please give generously so we can't back out!

We are raising money for a great charity St Davids Foundation Hospice Care.

Every year, St. David's provides hospice care to over 2,600 people with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

Most people feel most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by things they know and people they love, so that's how St David's provide most of their care - in the home.

Over the last 29 years they have cared for tens of thousands of families across Gwent. However, they could never have reached this fantastic milestone without the help of local people who have supported them over this time.

Each year it costs St David's over £4.6 million to provide their services.
