This festive period, you can give comfort, dignity and joy to the individuals and families being supported by St Helena Hospice at home and at the Hospice by making a donation.
Through the incredible generosity of three families and our partners at Total Clean who’ve established a matched funding pot, every donation made between 26th November and 3rd December will be matched up to £40,000.
Once this total is reached, any further donations will be gratefully received at their usual value and will all go towards providing essential hospice and bereavement care over the festive season and beyond.
By the end of Tuesday 3rd December, we hope to have raised £80,000, which will go towards ensuring St Helena Hospice can continue to support the people you love, when they need us.
We’re deeply grateful to the three families and one company who have pledged to match your donations.
The children of Rosemary and Mark Thompson have pledged to give joy in their parents’ honour, just like volunteering with St Helena for 25 years gave Rosemary joy, and just like her husband gave too in supporting hospice care for decades to give joy to others.
The Rev Susan Wiggins has pledged to give peace and dignity in memory of her husband Alan, because the nurses at the Hospice saw him as a human being beyond his diagnosis.
The family of a patient who was able to remain independent and at home with support from our rehabilitation professionals and complementary therapists, has pledged to give relief and comfort by matching your donation.
Our partners at Total Clean have pledged to give comfort to those who need it most this Christmas. Just as they’re dedicated to creating cleaner, safer and cared for environments, they’re now helping to bring peace of mind to the many individuals and families being supported this festive period and beyond.
When you make a donation to St Helena Hospice, we are charged transactional fees by other companies, including fees for processing payments made to us, looking up addresses and validating bank account details.
We are very grateful to our donors who offer to offset some of these fees with a minor addition to their total amount. This is however completely optional and we are very grateful for your support whether or not you choose to contribute to processing fees.
CloseWe are able to claim an extra 25p on every £1 on your donation amount for no extra cost to you, as long as you are a UK tax payer; have paid enough income tax or capital gains tax in that tax year; and are donating your own money. If you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
