Story

I'm off to the Sahara! :-)

I've signed up to a 5-day trek - organised by Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice - to raise vital funds to support the ongoing work the organisation does in our local area and I would love your support!

No donation is too small - every penny can help make a difference:

£5 - provides a hot drink and slice of cake for someone at the Day Hospice

£39 - could pay for telephone support to a bereaved person, so there’s is a listening ear at the end of the phone

£54 - could pay for a 1.5-hour home visit from one of the community nurses to support patients and their families at a difficult time

£185 - pays for a nurse shift on the inpatient ward

£200 - could pay for transporting people to and from the Day Hospice for a whole week, so that they can access medical treatments and support while

giving carers a break

It costs £487.50 a day to care for an in-patient at the Hospice and £24,035 to run the Hospice services for a whole day.

£0 is the cost of their care to patients and their families; all of their care and support is given free of charge – thanks to the incredible support of donations.

Thank you so much - yhttps://www.communityhospice.org.uk/our generous support will help the team work with more patients and their families when needed - now or in the future. Thank you.
