Every single person in Winsford knows at least one person who has received help from this amazing hospice. I personally could name a few, two people very special to me received their palliative care here and I want to give something back. The work these people do day in day out is second to none so me and my friend Maxine have decided to jump out of a plane in March to raise much needed funds. For someone with a fear of heights, this is going to be the most challenging thing I have ever done. 

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 we supported over 1,000 local people with a huge range of support from end of life care on our ward to supporting carers, and from helping children cope with grief to helping patients return to work after an illness.We are a charity and provide all our care for free, so we rely on the generosity and commitment of our supporters to raise more than 80% of our costs.
