Severn Hospice is with families from the moment they're referred to its care for as long as they need it, and it does this every day, all day for anyone in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales who needs that help.

It does this for them for free, but it is not without cost and it can't happen without you. For every £1 you donate, the hospice will spend 84p directly on care – and use the remaining 16p to make another £1.

Last year, all those individual donations meant the hospice could be there when it mattered for 3,000 local families.

To kick start our fundraising, a team from across our offices will be taking part in the physically demanding Dragon Boat Race on Sunday 20 July 2025.

Not only will be racing down the River Severn but we will be doing it in fancy dress! Team 'mfg: Orange is the New Brief' is ready to escape from Shrewsbury Prison, one oar stroke at a time!

Please donate as much or as little as you are able; every donation counts. The Dragon Boat Festival is the biggest fundraiser for the charity and we are honored to be taking part.
