We had planned to support this charity later in the year but have brought it forward as we wanted to use the opportunity to express our thanks for the care given to Christine Wallis and her family during her time at Leckhampton Court. The charity has given us this description of the range of service they offer, not surprisingly it cannot convey how valued they are by people they have touched.
“Sue Ryder — Leckhampton Court Hospice provides compassionate care and support to people from across Gloucestershire living with serious illnesses and conditions. The hospice offers support for patients, their carers and families. Our specialist palliative care includes assessment and management of complex symptoms as well as compassionate and dignified end of life care.
“We have a 16-bed inpatient unit that provides specialist palliative care for people with life limiting illness and our day hospice provides complementary therapy, art and music therapy, rehabilitation and psychological support. We have also recently started to offer blood transfusions and drug infusions within our day patient unit.
“Our Hospice at Home Service is a flexible and responsive service aiming to compliment existing health and social care services and support patients to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
“All care is provided free of charge. Every year we need to raise over £1 million in voluntary contributions to provide this care and we therefore rely on support from the community to continue providing services at the hospice for the people of Gloucestershire.
“Your kind support and recognition of our vital work is invaluable.”
