“We need your help to provide our 16 services free of charge to patients and their families.
“Together we can make a difference to people in our area living with terminal illnesses.”
By raising £20, you could help provide an in-patient’s meals and refreshments for one day, or £200 in sponsorship could pay for a patient to attend the Wellbeing Centre for one day.

Gill said: “This was our first experience of Saint Catherine’s and we found that they really look after the family as well as the patient. Our main reason for doing the walk is to give something back.
“When we were at the hospice, it was lovely to be able to look at the gardens with all the birds and wildlife. We felt very well looked after.”
