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

My dad passed away on Monday 6th April after a four and a half year battle with Multiple Myeloma. He had a particularly aggressive form of the disease and although he tried many types of treatments over the years eventually his body could not fight it any longer. We were fortunate enough to be able to get a bed at the local hospice near to my dads house. The care and respect they gave to dad in the last week of his life was amazing. Every choice was made based on his needs and they ensured he was in no pain. They also supported my mum, sister and me through the days and nights we spent at his side. Hospices are not funded by the goverment they rely totally on donations and it costs £10,000 a day to run this service. Any money you can give will help them to continue their fantastic work.

Thank you
