Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are a leading set of barristers specialising in commercial and chancery work. We will be cycling 55 miles from London to Brighton to raise money for SS John & Elizabeth Charity.
We choose to support St John's Hospice not only through personal connection but because of the vast amounts of work they do for more than 4,500 people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Their services cover seven North London boroughs and include community care, Hospice@Home, bereavement and social work support, inpatient care, day services, therapies and carer respite.
Your donation will go directly towards improving the quality of life of vulnerable people - for example:
£10 could fund a nutritious meal and drinks throughout the day for a patient visiting the Day Care Unit;
£25 could fund a bereavement counseling session for a patient's loved one, providing them with much needed support at the toughest time;
£30 could provide an at-home visit from a social worker who can provide emotional and practical support as well as issue emergency hardship grants to help with food and bills;
£50 could fund a weekly shop for a patient who is being cared for at home, ensuring that they have enough food in their cupboards as the cost of basic essentials increases.
These amounts are a guideline, and we appreciate that donating is hard during a cost of living crisis. Any donation is welcomed - even the price of a coffee can make a real difference.
We thank you for your donations and encourage you to spread the word and investigate the wide ranging efforts SS John and Elizabeth Charity put in towards improving the lives of so many people across London.
