Raising money for

St Ann's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 258085

St Ann’s Hospice is here to help and support people through one of the most difficult times of their lives.

Hospice care is based on the simple idea that a person who has a life-threatening illness or is dying is still very much a living person, with unique physical, emotional, social & spiritual needs. At St Ann’s Hospice, our aim is to help people maintain their dignity and maximise their quality of life. We’re not just focused on our patients either: we recognise that it’s also a difficult time for relatives, carers and friends & that they may need support too.

All of the services provided by the hospice are free of charge and around two thirds of our funding comes from donations and fundraising events – that means we have to raise £16,000 a day to provide our services.

My story

A bit about me, my mum and St. Ann's Hospice

In April 2004, my mum was diagnosed with Cancer and told without any treatment she had three months left. I was 17 studying for my A-Levels and my sister was in her first year at Sheffield University.

Everything happened so fast and it felt like we were just being past from department to department and hospital to hospital. I remember a nice doctor, "Dr. Paul", managing to get my mum transferred to the Neil Cliffe Centre. I remember sitting in a doctor’s office whilst she explained the various treatments and everything was so positive! My mum even came home for my birthday!

The centre became like a second home and the staff, atmosphere and attitude there was so encouraging. Where before it felt like my mum was just one patient of so many, now it felt like my mum actually matter to the staff, they cared and were going to do all they could!

In August, my mum passed away and obviously, we were all devastated. Those of you who are my close friends will have noticed I don't like talking about my mum very often; it upsets me and just hurts too much because I miss her.

The Neil Cliffe Centre is part of St. Ann's Hospice. An independent charity provides support to over 3,000 people every year. £16,000 needs to be raised every day (£8.75 million every year!) so they can support people like my mum and family!

Please support me in trying to raise my target so other people can have the support and help they need just like I did. Donations, fund raising ideas, anything you can offer is appreciated!

Every little helps! Thank you!
