Today and every day Pip and her colleagues provide<br />
help and support to 140 patients and their families, in<br />
West Surrey and North E<strong>as</strong>t Hampshire, who have a<br />
life limiting illness.<br />
Invaluable help but not without cost... so we depend<br />
heavily on the support of our local community.<br />
Ple<strong>as</strong>e help us today to provide this vital care<br />

Free Palliative Care in the Community<br />
Every year, people living<br />
with a life-limiting illness<br />
experience unnecessary<br />
pain and distress and are<br />
either unaware of or unable<br />
to access the care they<br />
need.<br />
We are hugely fortunate to<br />
have such a resource in our<br />
community. Phyllis<br />
Tuckwell Hospice, a Farnham b<strong>as</strong>ed charity,<br />
serving a population of more than 500,000 across<br />
West Surrey and North E<strong>as</strong>t Hampshire, offers<br />
Specialist Palliative Care to adults facing the end of<br />
their life, and support to those who care for them.<br />
Specialist Palliative Care, when ‘curative’ care is no<br />

symptoms and pain.The Hospice also offers<br />

holistic approach; acknowledging and<br />
incorporating individual physical, psychological,<br />
emotional and spiritual needs.<br />
Every day, support is given to over 140 patients<br />
and carers in their own homes and at the<br />
Hospice.The NHS covers less than 12% of the<br />
cost.This means that 88p in every pound the<br />
Hospice needs h<strong>as</strong> to be raised voluntarily. For that<br />
re<strong>as</strong>on, they rely heavily on the support and<br />
generosity of the local community.<br />
All services are provided free of charge, but they<br />
need to fundraise over £15,000 a day to offer such<br />
an exceptional standard of clinical care and<br />
support, so income from legacies, sales from<br />
thirteen Hospice shops, fundraising events, general<br />
donations and corporate support are all essential.<br />
A little help from everyone does make a big<br />
difference. Ple<strong>as</strong>e visit their website<br />
