HOSPICE IN THE WEALDAFTER NINE AND a halfyears as FundraisingDirector, Richard Snow leftthe Pembury-based charityHospice in the Weald inearly May.Richard joined the Hospicein 1994 at the start of thecampaign to raise £4.3 millionto build the new Hospice toinclude an In-Patient facilityin Maidstone Road, Pembury,which opened in 1998. Inthe five years since the firstpatient was admitted to the In-Patient Unitthe charity has extended its range ofservices and facilities to help more peoplein its 400 sq mile catchment area of WestKent and East Sussex.Hospice in the Weald now has to raise closeto £3 million each year to meet thedemands for its vital services with onlyaround 10% core funding coming from theNHS. As the charity looks forward to its25th Jubilee year in 2005,Richard Snow feels that it istime for the challenge ofraising such a large sum to begiven fresh eyes and newideas. He adds, “I havethoroughly enjoyed my time withthe Hospice and both Chris andI have met so many wonderfulpeople who are so committed toits work. We both wish theHospice continued success for thefuture.” Richard’s wife Chrisresigned earlier this month asVoluntary Link Co-ordinator for Pemburydue to other commitments.John Ashelford, Chief Executive, Hospice inthe Weald commented, “The charity has beenvery fortunate to have both Richard and Chrishelping to raise funds for us for such a long time.Most charities see their fundraisers move onwithin five years. We will always be grateful forall their hard work and wish them every success,good health and happiness for the future.”PEMBURY SHORT MAT BOWLS CLUBPEMBURY SHORT Mat Bowls Club closed their season with their finals evening onFriday 23 April.
