Weldmar Hospicecare needs to raise £26,000 a day to continue the specialist end of life care we provide in Dorset, both in the comfort of patient's own homes and at our IPU in Dorchester. 20% of our costs are met by the NHS, the rest comes from the generosity of our local community.

Story

Sixteen local people have signed up to learn to dance, and put on a show at Weymouth Pavilion! They will receive 16 weeks' training from the Eileen Spracklen School of Dance, and in pairs will learn a routine that they will perform at the show on March 17th, 2023. Each contestant will raise sponsorship money, and the winners will be decided by the audience on the night, paying £1 per vote. This is our fifth Strictly Ballroom event, and the money it raises goes a long way towards helping us provide specialist care in Dorset for adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones. All of our care is provided for free to everyone who needs it in Dorset.
