Since 1988, St Luke’s has been providing palliative care to local people, supporting them in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS. Last year they supported over 1,000 local people with a huge range of support from end of life care on their ward to supporting carers, and from helping children cope with grief to helping patients return to work after an illness. They are a charity and provide all their care for free, so they rely on the generosity and commitment of their supporters to raise more than 80% of their costs.

During July, 1874 Northwich FC are attempting  the 1874 Extreme Ironing Challenge in order to raise funds for St Luke's ( Cheshire ) Hospice. The 1874 Ironing board will be making appearances at the Northwich Carnival, the St Luke's Midnight walk and around the North West following the team during pre season, culminating in it being carried up Mt Snowdon where on reaching the summit an 1874 Northwich FC shirt will be ironed.

Keep an eye out for it on its travels by car, by foot and by bicycle. 

Please support us and our fundraising for St Luke's. We will keep you updated on our progress, with photographs of the various events.
