Ashgate Hospice needs your help to raise funds to ensure its special care for patients is continued

I just wanted to give a mention to Matthew Goldsbrough in his efforts to raise £1000 for Ashgate Hospice in memory of his wife Philippa Kyle.

You might know Matthew from the Manchester business scene or perhaps from his social media communications.

You might not know that Matthew suffered the sad loss of his wife Philippa last year to a terminal illness.

Philippa was cared for by Ashgate Hospice in her last hours and Matthew says that they were a great comfort in this difficult time to his wife and himself.

Ashgate Hospice is an independent registered charity covering North Derbyshire, providing specialist palliative care to terminally ill adults and their families.  Care is provided on the ward, day centre, out patient suite and at home and all services are provided free of charge.  £1.8 million must be raised annually from voluntary giving.

So if you can help Matthew and Ashgate Hospice please go to this Just Giving page.

    Rob,

    You’re very kind to give this cause some publicity.

    Until my wife and I needed the services of a hospice, I was quite unaware that many of them can only operate with support from individuals like me.

    Since palliative care will be necessary in the lives of some of our loved ones, I’d encourage your readers to support hospices in their work – if not Ashgate Hospice, then the one that’s near them. They need us now, because one day, we may need them.

    Matthew.

    Matthew,

    It is very sad indeed

    I am looking forward to buying your eggs at high prices as my small contribution; please let me know if I can be of further help

    Rob
