2025 is the year my cousin and I have decide to ‘jump out of a plane for St John’s Hospice’!!

As many know last year, as a family we lost a great person, Karen Hargreaves, an amazing mum, nana, partner, sister, auntie, great auntie and friend to many. One of her wishes was to make it to St John’s Hospice where she could spend the rest of her life in comfort and with those she loved around her. Thank you to Blackpool and Lancaster hospital, that was made possible. So as a family, we have seen first hand how much time, dedication and care goes in to making sure people like our Mum/Auntie can enjoy the time they have left. Places like St John’s Hospice rely on donations to be able to carry on caring for people and most importantly me and Michelle want to repay as much of the support and care that was given to our lovely Karen who we miss so much.

Thank you for your donations

St John’s Hospice has been part of the local community for over 38 years and provides vital service to patients and families all over our community. Our aim is to ensure that on the journey towards the end of life, we provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Our care will always be free to those who need it, but it isn’t cost free. It costs nearly £400 per hour to run the hospice with only around a third of this amount provided by local NHS funding. The remaining two thirds must be raised through events, community donations, grants and legacies.
