All we can do…in our community, with your support
We are passionate about supporting people with life-limiting illness and their families in a positive, caring and practical way.
We are an integral part of the Five Towns' community, offering round-the-clock support 365 days a year. While all of our care is free of charge to all of our patients, it is not free to provide.
It costs £6,000 a day to keep the Hospice open. Only around a third of this comes from the NHS, so we need to raise a staggering £4,000 a day to continue making a difference.
Here are examples of how your sponsorship can be used:
£10 allows us to help a patient put together a memory box for a loved one
£15 enables an expert nurse to deliver optimal care with comfort and dignity for one hour
£32 funds a home visit by a bereavement counsellor to help families through difficult times
£120 provides our in-care patients with the support of a doctor overnight
£250 funds all our running costs for one hour
£450 allows us to deliver inspirational care to one of our in-patients for 24 hours
£1,400 will enable us to fund a transport service, allowing our day patients to attend the Hospice for support this summer
