Lucy's Parachute Jump for the Hospice Drinks Trolley

Parachute Jump · 8 June 2019

Being diagnosed with a terminal illness can turn your world upside down. We're here to help people make the most of the time they have left, and provide expert care so that they can die with dignity. Your donation today will help us to be here for people in East London when they need us.

Story

The hospice has a drinks trolley that goes round twice a day (volunteer dependent) serving beer, wine, spirits, Baileys (always popular!) along with a range of soft drinks. I take it round every other Saturday lunchtime and it's such a lovely thing for patients and their families. A break in the day, a talking point - and your favourite tipple! It's a small thing but has such a positive impact. The drinks are all dependent on donations - so all sums of whatever size are very gratefully received. Stock is low so I thought I'd chuck myself out of a plane! (All donations will go to the trolley, am funding the jump myself).

St Joseph’s Hospice opened in Hackney in 1905, and since then has been caring for and supporting people affected by serious illness in eight London boroughs. We work to improve the quality of life of more than 2,100 patients with life-limiting conditions each year, helping them live life to the full, to the very last. We have to raise £19,000 each day to keep our vital services running and available to the 2.2 million people in our diverse community, so every penny raised for our hospice is really important, and very much appreciated.
