Raising money for

St Luke's Hospice Plymouth

Charity Registration No. 280681

When faced with the reality of coping with life-limiting illness, we believe that all patients should be entitled to the very best care available. St Luke´s has been providing specialist palliative medical and nursing care, free of charge, to patients from Plymouth, South West Devon and East Cornwall for more than twenty-five years.

A registered charity, we are passionate about offering our patients dignity and choice at a time in their lives when they may feel they have none. Our vision is to provide the best end of life care to all patients wherever their `preferred place of care´ might be - Hospice, Hospital or Home.

The St Luke´s network of care stretches far beyond the walls of the Hospice inpatient unit at Turnchapel, Plymouth reaching out to more than 2,000 patients each year. Alongside the specialist medical and nursing care, patients are also offered practical, financial, emotional and spiritual support.

Government funding covers less than 30% of the cost of caring for inpatients. We therefore have to raise at least £3.5 million from the local community every year so the fundraising never stops! That is why your donation and support is so important.

My story

Hi all, yes I'm mad enough to be running the London Marathon for the third time; so let me start by thanking you for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: the charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

This year I have chosen to support a charity close to my heart and based in my home town of Plymouth. St Luke's Hospice offers services to those who are terminally ill, the majority of whom have cancer. It provides a warm, loving ,caring environment where the emphasis is on quality care provided through an In-Patient Unit, Day Care Unit, Hospice at Home Service, Bereavement Support, Children's Bereavement Counselling, Carers Support and Sitting Service.

Your sponsorship, as always, is appreciated and will go a long way to helping a small charity like St Luke's carry on doing the fantastic job they already do!
