The charity that we're raising for is:         Saint Francis Hospice

Saint Francis Hospice is a centre of excellence in the care of those with life limiting illnesses.

Most of the people they care for like to stay in their own homes, therefore they provide support that allows them to do that. At times when this is not possible or when patients prefer the comfort of being in a clinical environment, Saint Francis bring them into there hospice for specialist care and control of symptoms; over half of these patients are able to return home again. 

Their teams provide care in the home, inpatient care at the hospice, day care at there centre together with a full range of therapies and treatments.  This care extends beyond physical treatment of symptoms; they consider the emotional, psychological, spiritual and social needs of their patients, their families, children and carers.

  • Saint Francis provide end of life care and support to more than 3,000 people  each year. 
  • Every day they care for more than 600 people with life limiting illnesses.
  • They don’t just look after people with cancer; their expertise extends to other life limiting illnesses such as Motor Neurone Disease, heart disease and respiratory illness.

  • Please note that every pound donated goes straight to this excellent hospice. 


Please donate as much as you can. This is going to be a tough event for a great cause.

Many Thanks

Luke Saunders
