Hi, we are taking part in the Rainbow Run on Saturday 6th June to raise funds for St Wilfrid's Hospice

We know directly as a family just how amazing St. Wilfrid's Hospice is, they looked after my beautiful Grandma back in 2011 and we couldn't have been more grateful, the time they took each day with her and made sure my Grandpa was ok too, it gave us that extra time with my Grandma and I'm so thankful to all of the team that came out to her.

The team are kind and compassionate and make not just the patient but the wider family feel cared for.

We are doing this to help care for other families in need of support in such difficult times, it all adds up even if it's just a small amount.

We have kick started the donations but would really love to hit our target 🤍

St Wilfrid’s Hospice provides high-quality care and support for people across Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield (and all points in between) with life-limiting illnesses.

The hospice's expert teams support the physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual and practical needs of patients, and their families and carers. This is in the hospice building, in patients’ own homes and in local care homes.

At a time when running costs are higher than the hospice's income, our support is more important than ever. Less than 30% of the funds needed to provide the hospice's services comes from the NHS – meaning they count on the community to help with funding the rest.

Every donation helps to provide vital end of life care for local people, so please do consider donating to my Rainbow Run fundraising page.

So far, the amount you have raised could fund:

3

hour(s) of hands-on care for someone at home

1

day(s) of meals for a patient

0

nurse(s) for one whole day, allowing them to care for patients in their own home or on the Inpatient Unit
