We've never needed you more than we need you today. We've recognised for a very long time that it takes a community to make a hospice and, in light of the current coronavirus outbreak, we've never needed you more than we need you today. With a big increase in people needing palliative care at this time, our services are facing more demand than ever before. But our shops had to close, our events are being cancelled and our income has almost dried up. We are now reliant on donations to continue our work. We're continuing to deliver care to some of the most vulnerable people in your local community, but it costs £850,000 every month just to keep our service going. By taking part in Katie's Christmas Appeal, you will be helping to raise vital funds to allow us to continue our essential work. We need you, our patients need you. Thank you so much.
