St Helena is here to help local people in North Essex to face incurable illness and bereavement.

The team are all living locally in the Colchester area, and many of us have realised the support that the Hospice has offered either direct to our families or indirectly to friends.

The charity has been hit hard by increase in national insurance contributions and we just want to help St Helena get through this difficult time.

Whether a family member wants end of life care, or the family want a break from caring, St Helena are here to help.

Susie Wrights Mother passed away at the hospice. The staff provided support in a lovely cheery and airy clean environment.

We just want to help raise the profile of the fantastic work they do, and raise funds to help them to continue.

We will be funding a cycle ride from lands’ end to john O’Groats, setting off on the 1st of September. We will be asking sponsors to donate to our Just Giving page so that all the money raised, goes directly to the Hospice. Please help us support this local worthwhile cause.
