We urgently need your help right now. All our shops have closed and nearly all of our fundraising activities have stopped resulting in a massive drop in our income. For the very first time we are finding ourselves in the position that we might not be able to afford to continue providing end of life care to people in our local communities.

We are all facing something we have never faced before which is why Sue Ryder has launched an appeal to make sure that we are still here. We are asking you to give whatever you can afford at this difficult time. Every pound you give could make the difference to whether we can be there or not. It is that simple.

Without immediate funding the critical end of life care that Sue Ryder provides to thousands of families across the UK (hundreds at St Johns Hospice) every year could cease. If we can raise enough money to help us get through the next few weeks we stand a chance. It will make all the difference.
