On August 1st, 2024, we said goodbye to our dear colleague and friend, Susie, after her brave battle with cancer. Susie was not only a dedicated professional but also a warm and compassionate soul who touched the lives of everyone around her.

To honor her memory and continue her legacy of kindness, we are raising funds for Sue Ryder, a charity that provides invaluable care and support to those living with terminal illnesses. This cause was close to Susie’s heart, and through this initiative, we hope to make a meaningful difference, just as she did every day.

We invite you to donate in her honor, helping to ensure that others receive the care and compassion that Susie believed in. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.

Let’s come together in Susie’s memory and help others through her spirit of giving.

Sue Ryder Starlight Hike is a series of 5k or 10k walks taking place in various locations around the country this October. They provide an opportunity to get together with family and friends under the stars to remember and celebrate the life of someone special and help ensure no one faces death or grief alone.

£20 could pay for a patient’s meals for the day in one of our hospices. We always do our best to cater for someone’s individual preferences and dietary requirements.

£25 could fund an hour of expert care, so our Sue Ryder doctors and nurses can help manage patients’ pain and symptoms.

£40 could provide our personalised text support service Sue Ryder Grief Coach to someone who is grieving for a year, as well as gentle coaching for friends and family who want to support them.
