Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The Prospect Hospice give unconditional care to those who need it most and a previous colleague of mine at STFC Mark Hampson is now in their care. A team of us are now raising money by doing this god awful assault course in April to thank the Prospect Hospice for their excellent work and help them carry on caring for people and their families as they are for Mark and his.
A little info about the Charity is below:
Prospect Hospice supports a community of
300,000 people in Swindon, Marlborough and north Wiltshire, and
the villages of Lechlade and Fairford in Gloucestershire. In 2014-15
Prospect Hospice cared for and supported almost 6,400 people, as
patients, carers and family members, through a range of services
developed to bring care, comfort and confidence at life’s most difficult
time. For patients, there are teams of nurses, doctors and therapists,
bringing care at the hospice in Wroughton, in their own homes and care
homes and through a palliative care team based at the Great Western
Hospital. Carers and family members also access services designed to
help their coping when a loved one has accessed our care. Information on
Prospect Hospice’s services, all of which are provided free of charge,
can be found here.
Increasingly we work in close
partnership with other care-focused organisations, and specifically with
local health- and social care professionals, with the shared aim of
bringing the best possible care to people in their final months, weeks
and years.
Prospect Hospice is a registered
charity. Last year it cost more than £7.2M to provide the care and raise
the funds to provide our care our patients and their families depend on
each year. We receive less than 30 per cent of our income from
statutory organisations such as the NHS - the rest we raise
ourselves. Find out more about the many ways you can support
Prospect Hospice here.
Since 1980 Prospect has provided the
only dedicated end-of-life care service for the 300,000 people living in
our community – bringing care, comfort and confidence, around the
clock, every day of the year.
