In my previous work as a mental health and elderly care nurse I had numerous interactions with Sue Ryder in Cheltenham and have always been amazed and impressed by the level of care there. Let's face it, care having to be funded through fundraising just shouldn't be the case but I am doing my bit to ensure Sue Ryder is able to continue with it's wonderful end of life support.

Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness or the loss of a loved one – they’re there when it matters.

For over 65 years, our doctors, nurses and carers have given people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live the best life they possibly can.

It will cost us around £48m to run their healthcare services next year. They expect to receive £30.4m in statutory funding, so we will need to raise £17.3m through donations or funds raised by incredible supporters like you.

Thank you for donating to such a worthy cause that is particularly close to my heart.
