I would like to donate to St Clare
Supporting St Clare Hospice
St Clare Hospice’s care helps patients, their families, and carers, to make the most of every moment together, no matter how long they have left to live. However, we only receive limited funding from the NHS. Meaning we rely on our local community to help raise money to fund our hospice.
We need to raise more than 70% of our annual costs to provide our vital services; in 2023/2024 the running costs of our charity is expected to be £7.3 million. We therefore rely on our local community to help us raise money each year so we can continue being there for local families facing one of the most difficult journeys in life.
Any donation you can give today will directly help families like Nadine, Benita and Elysa.

Thank you.
Nadine’s story
We had the privilege of caring for Nadine’s mum Benita when her condition began to deteriorate following her cancer diagnosis.
After spending long hours at her mum’s beside on the Inpatient Unit, Nadine decided to stretch her legs and take a walk around the Hospice’s beautiful gardens, when is when she stumbled upon an open door.
Nadine shared: ‘I poked my head in and asked what the group [St Clare arts and crafts group] were doing. They said they were crafting and asked if I’d like to join them.’
Nadine ended up making a Christmas card for her daughter, Elysa, who was due to go travelling the following week.
‘I got completely lost for two hours, creating this card for Elysa. My head has been full of so many things – knowing I’ll have to arrange Mum’s funeral and who to invite, and sorting the utilities once she’s gone – but I can honestly say my mind just clear when I was painting. It was so calming.’
