Walk for St Joseph's Hospice!

Becky Clark • September 8, 2023

About St Joseph’s Hospice

We provide, high quality, specialist palliative care and support to people in our local community who have a life-limiting illness. We take a holistic approach to our care, which means that we look after the wellbeing of the whole person, as well as their loved ones.  We provide palliative care in the Hospice and in the community as we believe that people should choose where they receive their care.


Why walk for: St Joseph’s Hospice?  

A little over half of our income comes from the NHS, which means we need to raise almost £7million a year just to meet our running costs.


• Your support will allow us to continue caring for people who have been told they have a life-limiting illness. 

• Your generosity will fund services that will help patients and family members deal with the emotions that a life-limiting illness can bring. 

• Your commitment will help our patients live their life to the full.


How to support the people we serve

As a St Joseph’s walker we will kit you out with a charity T-shirt to wear during your pilgrimage as well as a full fundraising pack with sponsorship forms, poster and lots of tips and ideas on how to get cracking with your fundraising in order to hit your target. 


A quick and easy way to get started with your fundraising is by setting up a JustGiving page then sending the link to friends and family to let them know about your challenge. https://www.justgiving.com/stjoehospice
