Story
This fundraising page has been created by the Community Team at 1874 Northwich FC.
We have been honoured to support our friends at the Hospice for a number of years and are asking for your help in raising funds to ensure that the Hospice can continue its vital work during this difficult time.
Due to the current situation regarding the Covid-19 epidemic and the subsequent lockdown, St Luke’s Hospice in Winsford has been forced to cancel all of its Outdoors Summer Fundraising activities.
The summer season is vitally important for the Hospice to raise the funds it requires to provide the support to patients and families in Mid Cheshire.
Many sponsored and fundraising events planned for this year will have to be cancelled or postponed above all the annual St Luke’s Midnight Walk, an event that is the mainstay of the hospice’s annual fundraising and one close to the hearts of many of their supporters.
Since 1988, St Luke’s has been providing palliative care to local people, supporting them in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS. Last year they supported over 1,000 local people with a huge range of support from end of life care on their ward to supporting carers, and from helping children cope with grief to helping patients return to work after an illness.They are a charity and provide all the care for free, so they rely on the generosity and commitment of their supporters to raise more than 80% of our costs.
Please help us, help the people who will be there for us when we most need them.
Help us support St Luke’s Cheshire Hospice.
Thank you.
