About Love you 2 Appeal

The appeal has been launched to raise funds to support the completion of the extensive re-development of the Hospice site at Chamberlain Road.

The challenge is to raise an extra £2.5m in the next two and half years, in addition to funding already being generated for day to day running costs. This equates to approximately £2 a minute which is the thinking behind the campaign concept – the Love you 2 Appeal – as every donation, whether it is £2 or £2222, will be considered a major contribution to the appeal. In real terms it will buy quality time within the superb new facilities for people with life limiting illnesses.

The expansion and re-development of the hospice site will enable people to benefit from specialist palliative care, respite care, enhanced services and treatments ... and will provide more facilities for relatives and carers.

Additional facilities on completion of the redevelopment will include:

12 respite beds, including 2 family suites
Enhanced therapy assessment and treatment areas
New rehabilitation and gym facilities
New and improved day therapy unit
Efficient and updated clinical and administration accommodation
Hospice cafe for the whole community

The aim of the Love you 2 Appeal is to fund the capital costs of the redevelopment with any surplus funds used to support recurring running costs.
