Providing specialist care to people with life limiting illness across North Hampshire
Hello friends of St. Michael's Hospice,
A warm welcome to our December newsletter.
I’d like to extend my thanks, so many of you have supported us in so many ways! Without your generosity, we wouldn’t be able to raise the ￡14,000 per day needed to deliver our services free of charge to our local community.
Whether you’ve given your time to help us through volunteering, donated to our shops, taken part in a fundraising event, or sent us a kind gift?- your support has been invaluable and we cannot thank you enough for being there for our patients.
This newsletter is full of stories and updates from across our Hospice - including?Charlotte's Story, whose mum used the Hospice. There’s also an update from Jemma, our Medical Director, where you can read all about some of the things that have been happening at the Hospice this year.?Get ready to join the festive fun with our first Reindeer Run in Alton on Sunday 17 December! Don’t miss out on the chance to support a great cause, get active and have fun with friends and family!?
We hope you enjoy reading our updates and stories - all of this was made possible thanks to kind people like you supporting us.
Warm Regards,
Iain Cameron
Chief Executive?
Charlotte's?Story
Charlotte’s mum was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and was cared for at our Hospice. She kindly shared her mum’s story, and her family’s experience of our Hospice here.
"Every staff member and volunteer that we encountered were really friendly and nice. I felt like I could turn up any time of day or night and still receive care and support." ?
