Our Christmas raffle has been launched in a bid to boost its charitable funding, which goes towards supporting patients and families who require specialist palliative care.
Hospice Fundraising Manager Jenny Baynham said: “We’ve been supporting local patients and families from the Doncaster area for over 32 years, and many people know someone who has been in our care.
“All the money we raise from the Raffle funds emotional, social, practical, psychological, and spiritual support for patients and families, over and above the patient’s medical needs.
“For some families in our care, this may be the last Christmas they spend together, so every penny goes towards ensuring our team is able to go above and beyond to make it as special as possible.”
She added: “Our prizes include £500 in shopping vouchers, an Amazon Echo Dot, and a luxury M&S Hamper, and we’ve got a whole host of other prizes, which have been generously donated by local people and organisations, we’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity of our donors for their support.”
