What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care improves the lives of people who have a life-limiting or terminal illness. It helps them to live as actively as they can to the end of their lives, however long that may be. It not only takes care of people’s physical needs, but looks after their emotional, spiritual and social needs as well.
Fundraising
Whilst the care in the hospice to our patients is free, it is not without cost and our annual running costs are around £1.6million per year. We raise this by 3 distinctive departments: Fundraising, Lottery and Retail.
Fundraising – Events, Legacies, Community, Trusts and Foundations and Third Party events.
Lottery – Buy a lottery ticket and have the chance of winning up to £6,000.
Retail – Visit our charity shops and bag yourself a bargain, or buy something from our ebay shop.
Retail
We now have 11 charity shops throughout our catchment area including some that sell furniture. Our Distribution Centre is where all the donated goods go to be sorted before being sent out to the individual shops.
eBay has some fantastic finds on there and have been bought by people all over the world.
