We are asking that you give whatever you can to support the work and secure the future of Royal Trinity Hospice, in memory of Dudley Sutton.

Why are we raising money for Royal Trinity Hospice?

The hospice came to our attention when they took care of the wonderful Dudley Sutton, who payed Tinker in the series, at the end of his life. Hospices are SO important in ensuring people can have a dignified, peaceful, comfortable end to their life, and we would e devastated if an organisation that provides such care were to suffer or even cease to exist. We are aware that, with the lockdown, the hospice's shops, key to providing funds, have had to close, and they are in desperate needs of funds to secure their future. We want to contribute in whatever way we can, however small, to helping them reach this target.

How are we raising money?

We held a virtual pub quiz on 16th May, and will be hosting an auction of show memorabilia (kindly donated by members of the cast and crew) for later in the summer (so Pol can go full-on Charlotte and have fun with her gavel - not a euphemism). We are also donating some of our Patreon funds to the hospice, so thank you to all our wonderful patrons - we love you lots. You can still play along with the quiz at the link above - we ask that people pay-to-play, as much as they can afford/feel is appropriate. We're asking for donations through this site, so they will go directly to the Hospice.

Who the heck are we?

We are three women who run a podcast about the 80s/90s TV series Lovejoy - Lovejoy, Actually - because we all had lonely childhoods, plus it's good to have a hobby.

Royal Trinity's mission:

We believe that every moment matters, so we go above and beyond to help our patients and their families make the most of every moment they have left.Hospice care is as much about living as it is about dying. We want to give our patients the time and support they need to make informed decisions about how they die. We’ll continue to be there after death, for those close to them, providing specialist emotional and practical support, no matter their age. Last year we cared for 2,500 people at the hospice and out in the community.
