As most of you may know, Kate was cared for in the last days of her life by the wonderful staff and volunteers at Queenscourt Hospice in Southport. Please read about the hospice on their website https://www.queenscourt.org.uk/

As a charity they rely upon donations of time and money from the local community. Only a fraction of their daily running costs are covered by the NHS.

The sad truth is that there will always be local people with life limiting illnesses who need specialist care.

"We can’t add days to lives but with your help we can add life to days"

£10 – helps families deal with loss and grief
We support patients at each new stage of their illness and make sure we’re there for loved ones when they need us. Your donation could go towards our library of children's books which we share with families to help them deal with understanding loss and grief.

£25 – helps create a sense of achievement
We know how important it is for patients to make the most of the time they have left. Your donation could help fund a creative therapy session for a patient. Completing projects can lead to a sense of achievement and pride, whilst creating special gifts and memories for family and friends.

£50 – helps ease discomfort
We do whatever we can to make a patient more comfortable. Your donation could go towards a physiotherapy session for a patient, helping to ease discomfort and improve physical symptoms.

£125 – helps reduce pain and anxiety
Our patients often tell us that pain is what they are most afraid of. Your donation could cover the cost of a nurse’s shift on our inpatient unit, where they can help deal with a patient’s pain and symptoms.

We thought we would aim for £500 which would help pay for 4 days of specialist nurse shifts to help patients deal with their symptoms of pain and anxiety. The nurses at Queenscourt are angels and you couldn't wish for better or kinder care for your loved ones.

Please donate anything you can.
Thank you.
