HERE at Grace House North-East Children’s Hospice Appeal we have been delighted with the wonderful support and huge increase in awareness around County Durham over the past year.
However, as we now approach the next stage in our appeal, we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our new Durham and District Supporters Group to help with fundraising and awareness-building efforts.
People can give as little or as much time as they like, but we can assure them that whatever they can offer will make a huge difference.
Grace House Children’s Hospice Appeal is raising money to build a hospice for children and their families who live in the North-East.
It is estimated that there are 1,000 children in the North-East who need this type of care and, unfortunately, there are only 12 hospice beds to serve the whole of the region (the lowest provision throughout the UK).
This new hospice will provide a much-needed service and support for children and families.
If you would like to help or find out more, please contact me at the fundraising office on 0191-516-6302 or email hm@gracehouse.co.uk.
Heather McLean, Grace House North-East Children’s Hospice Appeal, Sunderland.
