Dear Brian,
Re: Thank you for your £43,750 grant towards 7 hoists in the new Hospice
I am writing on behalf of Phyllis Tuckwell to acknowledge receipt of the grant for £43,750 for which we are extremely grateful. To confirm, this grant has been restricted to seven hoists that will be used in our Rehabilitation and Exercise Suite, our Assisted Bathroom, our Assisted Shower Room and four of our Clinical and Treatment Rooms. This will have a huge impact for those patients who will use them, enabling them to access all aspects of our care with dignity.
Thank you so much to you and all your fellow trustees for your continued support of our charity. As you know we have taken on the challenge of building a new Hospice in a bid to expand our care and prevent local people dying before they receive the care they deserve. We would not have been able to take on this challenge without the support and belief of our local community and so thank you for being a part of that.
From the new facility, our specialists will be able to care for thousands more people, in the Hospice itself, and by using it as a hub to care for people in their own homes, where many of our patients wish to be at the end of our lives.
We look forward to welcoming you and the Trustees back for a site visit to the New Hospice Build Site in Waverley Lane on Thursday 4th September at 2pm. We can't wait to show you the progress of the building since your last visit in February.
Thank you once again for all your support.
Best wishes,
Jenny Peat
Director of Income Generation
