Story

John served an engineering apprenticeship, worked at De Havilland, had successfully run his own business, was an enthusiastic fisherman, photographer and had excelled at cycling which included winning both the RAF and national services sprint championships.  

Rennie Grove provide a service, day and night, 365 days of the year, supporting patients and their families in their homes at the end of life.  

It's extremely difficult to express in words what this support and care meant in the last months of John's life especially during, what are, exceptionally challenging times.

Rennie Grove's running costs are funded predominantly from fundraising.

Anything you are able to give will make a difference.
