Welcome to my JustGiving page. I will be doing a 24 hour live stream on YouTube on the 14-15th July, 5pm to 5pm. I am doing this in honour of my Uncle David who sadly passed away in March from esophageal cancer.

He was a massive Arsenal fan and nothing could stop him watching his beloved team. Many debates and conversations were shared for our love of football and memories I'll always treasure.

Peace Hospice Care were fundamental in my Uncle's end of life care and the support given to both him and the wider family was immense. I have therefore decided to raise funds for this charity in my Uncle's honour.

Peace Hospice Care is part of the original Peace Memorial Hospital, first opened in 1925 by Princess Mary, the Princess Royal, built as a memorial to those killed in World War One. The Hospital was built thanks to the fundraising of local families. During the 1970s, services were gradually transferred to the new Watford General Hospital, forcing the closure of the Peace Memorial Hospital in 1985.

On 24th June 1991, a group of passionate pioneers from the Watford community set up the South West Hertfordshire Hospital Charitable Trust and ran an appeal to fund a new hospice. By 1992, the Health Authority agreed to a hospice on the then derelict Peace Memorial Hospital site. The appeal raised almost £2 million in four years.

By 1993, the appeal had raised enough money to start a Day Care Centre in a portacabin. After fundraising, the Centre was later transferred to the Hospital building and was officially opened in 1996 by our Royal President, Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent.

Over the following years, the services adapted and grew and from 2000, they opened a new Inpatient Unit, launched the Hospice at Home service and opened their Peace Outpatient Centre.
