Go Green for patients in Hospice Care Week

Cransley Hospice Trust announces their new fundraising initiative, inviting businesses to get involved and Go Green in celebration of the incredible end of life care experienced by many in our community.

Hospice Care Week is an annual event which runs from 7th- 13th October this year to highlight the importance of hospice care and the good work of the staff in hospices. To celebrate and raise awareness of this incredible cause, Cransley Hospice Trust are asking people to support them by going Green from 7th – 13th October.

Businesses, departments, friends, colleagues can participate in Go Green in any way they can; Whether it’s a green dress down day, a lunchtime bake sale or a team quiz or challenge, there are hundreds of ways that corporate supporters can get involved.

Cransley Hospice Trust is challenging businesses to pledge to raise £250 during GO GREEN week, with a collective goal of raising £10,000. This will support the vital end-of-life care for patients and provide crucial support for their families during the most difficult times.

Louise Gurney, Community Fundraising and Events Development Manager at Cransley Hospice Trust, said, “It costs around £755 to care for a patient in the hospice for a day. With the support of local businesses, colleagues, and friends, we hope to raise £10,000. This would enable us to care for more patients, helping them to die in comfort and free from pain.”

Shannon, daughter of Alison Spence recalls how the care helped her mum and her family “Cransley gave us all a gift – the chance to enjoy mum in her final weeks. Caring for mum had become very difficult and that stress was completely lifted from us, allowing us to focus on making memories.”
