Ruby anniversary

Share your story!    -   Get involved!   -   Give back to the future!  -   Paint the town red!

Over the past 40 years, your generous support has seen St Wilfrid's grow from small beginnings to the point where we are supporting over 2,200 people each year in the community, through our Inpatient Unit and through our wellbeing and carers support. 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.
