Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

24 years ago, we were lucky to experience the incredible care of St. Wilfrid’s Hospice when they looked after Phil’s Dad during a very challenging time. Their compassion and support left a lasting impact on us, and this year, I’ve had the privilege of seeing their amazing work first hand.

During my 8-week placement at St. Wilfrid’s, I have worked alongside their dedicated team and inspiring patients. It was a humbling and life-changing experience that reaffirmed how vital the hospice’s services are.

Now, we want to give back to this incredible place by helping them raise £30,000—the amount needed to fund a nurse on the ward for an entire year. These nurses are the heart of St. Wilfrid’s, providing compassionate, person-centred care to patients and families in their most vulnerable moments.

We will be embarking on an extraordinary challenge: trekking across the Sahara Desert from October 23 to October 28, 2025. This five-day adventure will see us covering miles of unforgiving terrain, navigating rolling sand dunes, and facing intense desert heat during the day and freezing temperatures at night, it will push us physically and mentally.

Please support us by donating and sharing our page. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference in the lives of people who depend on St. Wilfrid’s Hospice. Together, we’re determined to do all we can to help this cause.
