While many families look forward to Christmas, others face the devastating reality that it could be their last Christmas together. Families coping with a life-limiting illness often experience fear, exhaustion and isolation at a time when they should be creating special moments together. Demand for our care continues to rise, but with limited statutory funding, we rely on the generosity of the local community for the money to keep supporting those facing their toughest moments.

With the support of generous donors, we will be there for families when they need us most. Our clinical teams – including nurses, doctors, healthcare assistants and therapists – provide expert care that eases pain, relieves anxiety and supports loved ones through some of life's hardest times. This Christmas, we'll help more local people spend quality time with family, creating memories that will be cherished forever.
