Raising money for

St Nicholas Hospice

Charity Registration No. 287773

St Nicholas Hospice Care is a local charity which looks after people with life limiting illnesses. This can include cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease and the advanced stages of heart and lung disease. We can’t cure these illnesses, but our expertise lies in making life more comfortable for those suffering from them. We aim not just to look after the patient, but to support their family, friends and anyone else affected by the disease. The Hospice provides high quality end of life care but it also supports people earlier in their illness. This ensures that patients and their families have the best quality of life possible. As a registered charity we provide our services entirely free to all those who need our help and support. To do this we need to raise £10,000 per day through the generosity of the local community – thank you for your support.

My story

Thank you so much, everyone! My headshave was a success! I'm very light-headed now. We had a wonderful day and raised even more money, so thank you to eveyone at The Hair Studio in Thurston as well!

***

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 7th August I will be having a complete headshave in aid of St. Nicholas Hospice. It'll be a pretty drastic change for me - I've had long hair my whole life - so I'm really hoping to use the opportunity to raise money for such a good cause as the hospice.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
