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.

Thank you for visiting this fundraising page!

The Herald editor Bill Martin and picture editor Pete Holdgate are to tackle one of the most hostile environments on earth when they take part in the Namibia Ultra marathon in April. They will race 120km in 24 hours across the vast expanse of the oldest desert in the world. The pair are currently in heavy training and are looking for sponsors.

Please dig deep and sponsor them online! Every bit helps!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Luke's Hospice Plymouth will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

A huge thank you to all for your support.

Follow Bill and Pete's training in the Herald leading up to the event.
