The difference you make when you donate to our Light up a Life appeal
Alongside NHS funding, your generous donations will help to raise the £12.12 million* to run our services. (*Contracted services from the NHS are budgeted at £7.33 million, with the help of our community, we need to raise a further £4.79 million). As more people turn to us for support, we turn to our community and ask you to help us be there when people need us.
People like Piers, who attends the Living Well Service at the Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridge, and Ann, who attends the Living Well service at the Alan Hudson Day Treatment Centre in Wisbech. This service is entirely funded by your donations.

Your donation, in memory of your loved ones, will help us to support more local people to receive our care during some of their hardest days.

You can read more HERE about the two Light up a Life services.
Both services featured carols, poetry, and music. As the lights on our beautiful tree were switched on, you remembered your loved ones who still shine a light on you, through the memories you have of life with them.
Everyone was welcome to attend, no matter what part of the journey you are on and whether you have or haven't received our care. These events are open to people of all faiths or no faith.
At the end of both services, there were warm drinks and snacks available.
