Stay home and stay positive: Easter greetings from Saint Francis Hospice

Despite temperatures set to soar over the bank holiday, we can assure you that there's no room for complacency here at Saint Francis Hospice. With our charity retail stores temporarily closed and our fundraising events postponed, we're on a dual mission. We'll still be working tirelessly to stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep our patients and their families safe. Part two is to find the £8.5m that will keep our Hospice open for the next 12 months.

It's with thanks to your incredible support that we've seen a flurry of activity across online donations, Sponsor a Nurse, Gift in Wills, and our Lottery where you could be in with the chance of winning £25,000 to ease those lockdown blues. We've also been touched by many acts of kindness that we will cherish long after the pandemic is over.

Thank you for everything you do for us; you remain very remain in our minds. Everyone here at the Hospice wishes you and your loved ones a happy and peaceful Easter. Happier times are ahead.
