I am taking part in this year's Moonlight Walk along with family members, to raise funds for the Hospice. As many people will know my sister had a short stay at the Hospice in June this year before sadly passing, and my Mum similarly 21 years ago.

So many people who live in the Hastings and Rother area have had need of one or more of the services this fabulous team at SMH provide, whether it is wellbeing, bereavement support, in-patient services and respite, amongst other services.

We would be grateful for any donations you are able to give to help this wonderful team of people continue their work for our community. Thank you for supporting the Moonlight Walk 2025, raising money for St Michael's Hospice (Hastings and Rother).

The Hospice supports and enables the community of Hastings and Rother to live well with dying, death and loss. In the last year, 1,581 patients needing end of life care and an additional 470 people accessed bereavement support. The breadth of services offered, and the variety of ways in which these can be provided is intended to be inclusive and accessible - made possible by all those who offer their support whether in donations or volunteered hours. Thank you for being part of the St Michael's Hospice community which makes this possible.
