I run the Oldham & Saddleworth area franchise of Home Instead Senior Care which is a home help and companionship service supporting the elderly to live safe and independant lives in their own homes. In our line of work we sometimes help to support Client's (and their families) who are coming to the end of their life because of non-curable illness's. In doing our work we have been made aware of the wonderful and valuable work that is completed by all the team down at Dr. Kershaw's who provide care and support with the dignity and respect you can only hope for in your final days.
I know through chatting to Anita Armitage, the Matron at Dr. Kershaw's, that it costs a huge amount of money every year to keep the hospice open and provide their valuable service. The daily running cost stands at £4670 which adds up to a whopping £1.7 million per year. A small percentage of the money comes from the PCT with the remainder coming from fundraisers, sponsorship, donations and legacies.
So I'm just doing my little bit to make a difference. If you can spare a little cash please give at http://www.justgiving.com/micksheehan

Mick
