St Barnabas Crisis Appeal

We have had to close our Day Hospice and cafe and move to essential visiting only, but we have opened 5 new beds to get patients out of over-stretched hospitals and into our care. And we have introduced a ‘helping hands’ scheme offering social and practical assistance to those patients staying at home. 

At the same time our shops have been forced to close and the vital funding they provide has disappeared. Fundraising events large and small have been cancelled. And this is causing us a huge problem. 

The maths is simple. It costs £700,000 a month to run St Barnabas, most of which comes from fundraising. And right now we are losing 70% of our fundraising income every month - it is only a matter of time before we run out of money. 

So please, if you can, send a gift today. Whether your generosity pays for care in the hospice itself or vital work in the community, I promise you that it has never been needed more.
