Our March Charity – Arthur Rank Hospice
Arthur Rank Hospice Charity (ARHC) cares for over 3,800 adult patients each
year at their Hospice in Cambridge, the Alan Hudson Centre in Wisbech and
across the Fens in patients’ own homes. All this care is free.
Their End of Life service aims to make every moment count through palliative
care, craft and recreational sessions, emotional, psychological and spiritual
back-up for patients and their families, bereavement counselling – and much
more.
But this is under threat by the withdrawal of £829,000, annually funded by
Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), which would nearly halve the bed
capacity of the Inpatients’ Unit from 21 to 12.
Please donate generously, under Gift Aid, if possible, and support their 10
Charity shops and the Hospice Bistro, which is open to all daily from 9am to
4pm for delicious snacks and lunches.
Who knows? We might need their services ourselves one day.
About Charity of the Month at St Mark’s
Charity of the Month was created as a way of coming together as a church community to raise money for good causes. The scheme provides ongoing support to certain organisations, and each year members of our congregation are also invited to suggest charities that they would like to promote.
