Our 40th Anniversary Year
Share your story! Get involved! Give back to the future! Paint the town red!
In 2021, we want to celebrate your support over the past 40 years, sharing stories and memories and publicising your fundraising efforts.
2020 has been a tough year for the hospice, with more people needing care and pressure on fundraising because of Covid-19 restrictions. We hope that, with your help, we can raise the funds that we need to keep going for the next 40 years, helping people in our community to live well until the end of their lives.
Anniversary book
As we look to our future, it is important we reflect and celebrate all that has gone before. Our commemorative book will celebrate the last forty years of St Wilfrid's providing compassionate local hospice care.
Ruby forget-me-not flowers
During our 40th anniversary year, our thoughts naturally turn to all those we have cared for but are sadly no longer with us. We are marking this milestone by turning our forget-me-not flower ruby and making it a beautiful keepsake
Lights of love
As we head towards Christmas we wanted to find a way for you to remember those you have lost and for us to be together in a new and different way.
Make a ruby donation
Just £40 could pay for a home visit from our team of nurses and therapists, enabling a patient to be cared for in the familiar surroundings of their own home.
