Alex and I, joined by our two Lurchers - Doug and Dave have this year decided to walk from Skipton to Penrith along the 100 mile Lady Ann's Way and hope to raise some much needed funds for HospiceCare North Northumberland. HospiceCare provide end of life care services throughout North Northumberland and get only a tiny proportion of the funding needed from central government with the remainder coming from donations. 

***IF YOU ARE A UK TAX PAYER PLEASE ADD GIFT AID, THIS INCREASES THE DONATION BY 20% AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU. IT IS TAX BACK FROM THE GOVERNMENT THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.***

HospiceCare delivers person centered Hospice at Home service across North Northumberland, offering practical and emotional care and support to adults aged 18 years and over, who are living with a terminal illness, requiring palliative input. Care is provided within a person’s home by our specially trained nursing team & healthcare assistants 365 days. Each year HospiceCare needs to raise over £850,000 and receive just 5% from the NHS - the rest we have to find from community fundraising, donations, and legacies.
