Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page which is here to help celebrate my 80th birthday on November 30th - a bit early for my actual birthday on 10th December.

I have been very fortunate with my family and friends and so decided I don’t really need any presents for my birthday and would rather do something a bit special. So if you would like to you can make a donation to the Hospice of the Good Shepherd, Chester. David was Treasurer and a Trustee for many years and they are a charity which is close to my heart. It is a place that cares for people who are facing difficult times and their families as well.

The Hospice of the Good Shepherd provides its services free of charge to its patients and costs £5.2million to run each year with just 17% of the funding received coming from statutory sources. The remaining 83% is raised from a range of fundraising activities and the support of the generous local community in Cheshire. In addition, they raise money through their local charity shops and weekly lottery.

Any amount, big or small will make a huge difference to the lives of people with life limiting illnesses and provide care and support for their friends and family.

Thank you very much!
