Debbie’s story

After the sudden loss of her mum, Debbie found that giving her time to the Hospice was a meaningful way to cope with her grief.

“Losing Mum so suddenly was incredibly hard,” she shares. “Being part of the team has really helped me — it’s brought me comfort, knowing I’m giving something back.”

“Staff are very caring, appreciative and incredibly grateful for any time you can give. I know I am a small part of the Hospice but I am made to feel that I am an essential part of running the shop."

Our services are free of charge to all those in our community who need vital hospice care but this is only made possible through the charitable support and generosity of our amazing community. We need to raise £39,000 each day to fund our services 365 days a year to the people who need us most.

We’ve never needed you, our wonderful supporters, more than we need you today. Please donate what you can to help keep hospice care available for those in desperate need.
