I have been a trustee for over 10 years and I know how well valued the services that the Nightingale provides are to its service users. It costs almost £300,000 a year to run our services, all of which has to be raised by the Charity and its supporters. My older brother who suffered from throat cancer was a great supporter of the Nightingale and made use of the services provided, prior to losing his personal battle. I know how much he appreciated the therapy and support he received.
