Every penny raised will support The Hospice of St Francis, allowing them to care for local people and their families so that they can live their precious lives well. 

The Hospice of St Francis gives life back by improving symptoms and helping people to achieve personal goals, whilst for others, they make the end of life the best it can be. They are also there for loved ones and children affected by loss, helping them to rebuild their lives and live through grief. 

Thank you so much for all your donations. Your support is very important, as NHS funding covers less than 20% of their running costs.

As many of you will know, Mum (Helena Bancroft) works for The Hospice of St Francis as a clinical nurse specialist in the local community. Mum and her colleagues at the hospice work so incredibly hard and do such an admirable job. I am so proud of Mum, who always comes home smiling despite the challenging situations she may have faced that day. If you feel able, please donate so that I can fundraise to support the amazing work that Mum and her wonderful colleagues do.
