I’m asking for support for my chosen charity this year, Ashgate Hospice — a place that provides truly essential end of life care for people of all ages across Derbyshire.

Right now, Ashgate has the capacity for 21 beds, but due to severe funding pressures they can only afford to operate 10. That means families facing the hardest moments of their lives may not get the care they desperately need. We simply cannot afford to lose such a valuable and compassionate service.

If you’re able to help in any way — large or small — your support will make a real difference to keeping this vital care available for our community.
