Bolton Hospice is very dear to my heart, prior to losing my lovely husband of 32 years he had the best care at Bolton Hospice, I will be forever indebted to them. I have volunteered on the wards at the hospice for the past 18 months and see before my very eyes the care and dedication that patients need and receive.

This year I mark my 60th birthday and what a way to do it!! A skydive!! Woohoo.

Our consultant-led team of doctors, nurses and other professional staff provide expert care and support for local people with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families, in the hospice and at home. We not only take care of patients' physical needs, we consider their emotional, spiritual and social needs too. We also support families and close friends, both during illness and in bereavement.

All money raised from the Skydive will go towards supporting our patients and their families.
