Severn Hospice is with families from the moment they're referred to its care for as long as they need it, and it does this every day, all day for anyone in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales who needs that help.

The amazing team provides compassionate care and support to patients and families during some of the most challenging times, ensuring that everyone receives the dignity and comfort they deserve. We were blessed in 2016 that my fabulous dad, David, was able to spend his final days in their care.

It does this for free, but it is not without cost and it can't happen without you. For every £1 you donate, the hospice will spend 84p directly on care – and use the remaining 16p to make another £1.

Last year, all those individual donations meant the hospice could be there when it mattered for 3,000 local families.
