We'd like to give a huge thank you to Jayne Lindley for raising a whopping £3,375.21 (including Gift Aid) towards our care. 🙌 Earlier this summer, Jayne cycled from London to Paris, nearly 40 years after she peddled to to help fund the formation of our hospice. After her cycling challenge, she continued to raise vital funds by raffling her bike, which was kindly donated by JE James Cycles. And the fundraising hasn't stopped there; the winner of the raffle has generously re-donated the bike for Jayne to sell to add to the total amount raised. Round of applause for everyone involved. Thank you for helping us care for people with a life-limiting or incurable illness, and the people important to them. Pictured: Jayne presenting a cheque to Barbara-Anne Walker outside the hospice. In front of them is her bike. #AshgateHospice #ThankYou #MakingADifference #PayItForward #Charity #Hospice

"I’ll do what I can in Parliament to support our hospices, and I hope everyone in Chesterfield will do what they can to support Ashgate Hospice." After his constituents brought Hospice UK's campaign for fairer funding for hospices to his attention, Toby Perkins MP has agreed to make the case to the new Labour Government to review the funding model for hospices and increase support. Thank you to Toby and his constituents who have advocated for change. You can read Toby's blog about his visit to our hospice here: https://shorturl.at/Vtb3j Along with many other hospices nationwide, we rely on donations from the community to provide our essential compassionate end of life care. More substantial funding is needed so we can be there when you need us most. Show your support by telling your local MP about this vital campaign: https://shorturl.at/JLw4S #AshgateHospice #WriteToYourMP #Campaign #Hospice #Funding #NorthDerbyshire #Chesterfield
