Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing this mad challenge in honour of my wonderful mother, Sally Rayner.

She recently lost her battle to cancer, but she visited St David's Hospice for day care as well some respite care. The place is amazing and I wish it was bigger so more people could benefit from the wonderful care and support they give. 

St David’s Hospice is a registered charity providing end of life care, free of charge, to the people of Anglesey, Gwynedd and Conwy. They also provide respite and day care for adults with terminal or life limiting illnesses. It costs £1.65 million pounds a year to run it and 75% of this is funded through community fundraising.

More details can be found at www.stdavidshospice.org.uk 

St David’s Hospice cares for over 400 local families each year. Over 73 pence of every £1 we spend goes directly on patient care, and our clinical services currently cost over £4,500 per day or £187.50 per hour. There are over 80 paid staff and we have the support of over 250 fantastic volunteers who do an amazing job.

Here are some examples of what your gift could fund:

£10

Purchase oils for an aromatherapy session or materials for the arts & crafts sessions in our Day Care unit

£25

A morning or afternoon’s care from a support worker

£50

5 Slide sheets to help facilitate the moving of patients up the bed.

£150

Would feed all our patients for a day

£187.50

This would fund 1 hour of clinical time for all our patients

£500

This would provide on-going training for 5 nurses

£1200

This could purchase a specialist mattress for an Inpatient bed
