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

Update: Thanks for visiting our fundraising page, we have already beaten our initial target of £2750 so we have raised the bar. All of your donations have reminded us both that we need to start training so we are now out on the bikes learning about the benefits of padded saddles!

Caroline and I will be cycling through Vietnam this October to raise money for St Luke's Hospice Plymouth which provided such fantastic care for my husband Matt last year.

Hopefully, by us undertaking such an extraordinary challenge (I haven't even owned a bike for 16 years!) others will be inspired to donate to this very worthy cause.

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