We care for people who are living with complex and progressive illness From head shaves to overseas treks, craft fairs to glamorous balls, our supporters build on their own skills, interests and ideas to raise essential funds Because incurable illnesses affect whole families we offer the same loving support, help and counselling to their families, friends and carers Many hundreds of local people are involved in making sure that we can complete our mission, both as volunteers and paid employees Since opening we have cared for over 16,000 patients and we now care for approximately 2500 patients each year
