At present the Hospice needs £1,750,000 to continue to operate its specialist services and maintain the standard of care – this equates to over £4,700 per day. There is no charge made to patients for any of these services. Although we do receive a percentage of money from the Primary Care Trust, the Appeal Office has to raise in excess of £1,350,000 per year. This would not be possible without the dedicated support from fundraisers, families and businesses.

There are various ways in which you can support the Hospice; some of which may be time consuming or require certain skills, whilst others may not necessarily be physically demanding or take much time and effort. Whatever your lifestyle, we feel sure there is some way, if you wish, by which you could support the Hospice.

For example, a number of dedicated running enthusiasts take part in various events such as the London Marathon and the Great North Run and raise sponsorship money for the Hospice. Other supporters organise events such coffee mornings and raise money regularly through their local community. All efforts are equally appreciated.

Please take time to browse through the full range of our ongoing fundraising activities.
