Our Winter Raffle is back with £4,000 in prizes up for grabs. It’s a great opportunity to support the Hospice whilst being in with a chance of winning!
Allison’s mum was cared for by our Hospice and she wanted to share how money raised from previous raffles has helped her mum die at home surrounded by family.
Allison said, “I can’t say thank you enough to those people who buy raffle tickets. Because of you, my mum had everything she wanted when she died. 
“My family and I decided to become Mum’s ‘cheering squad’. We bought pom poms to encourage her and raise her spirits. We believed that even though Mum was dying, we were going to celebrate her life every step of the way.
“Mum had always said she wanted to die at home, so we agreed to do everything possible to grant her this wish. We couldn’t have done it without the incredible Hospice at Home team from St Barnabas.
“The St Barnabas nurses made sure we weren’t alone in caring for her and ensured that both she and us had what we needed to care for her at home. They were angels.
“I spent four years working in retail for St Barnabas until I moved to Essex. The care Mum received is the sole reason I chose to work for such an incredible Hospice. I wanted to give back to ensure that others can continue to access an incredible service.”
