"In 2018, for the final 3 weeks of his life, my Dad was cared for at the hospice of the Good Shepherd. It was one of the lowest times for us as a family. During this most difficult of times the hospice staff supported us all with such care and compassion. We have continued to have a link to the hospice through attending fundraising events, Light up and Life and last year my Mum began volunteering on the reception desk."

"We took part in Foamtastic 2 years ago and had a great time so have signed up again this year. We just want to try and raise some funds to help the hospice to be able to give similar support to other families and to say thank you for helping us."

Hospice of the Good Shepherd provides its services free of charge to its patients and costs £5.6million to run each year with just 17% of the funding we receive coming from statutory sources. The remaining 83% is raised from a range of fundraising activities and the support of our the generous local community in Cheshire. In addition, they raise money through their local charity shops and weekly lottery.
