Hastings and Rother supporters secure major grant for St Michael’s Hospice
As a result of the community pulling together in this way, we not only won the South East final, but we also recorded the highest vote in the entire country. Out of a total of 114 different projects competing for the grants, St Michael’s, with just over 20,000 votes, polled 40% more votes than the next highest number – an extraordinary demonstration of support for which we are extremely grateful and proud.
Thanks to this grant we are now able to extend our Day Therapy services for patients, to include an art therapy studio, a digital photography suite and an internet café with Wi-Fi access. These facilities were requested by the patients themselves and will enable them to share special moments with loved ones and create lasting memories for years to come.
With my thanks to you and your readers for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Julian Avery
Chair, St Michael’s Hospice, Hastings and Rother
