Support us from your saddle this spring!

Why get sponsored for your cycle?

Supporters taking part in our Cycle St Giles events over the last eight years have raised more than £430,000 to fund care for local people, which is truly amazing!

Did you know…

£76 could pay for 1 hour of our Advice and Referrals team
£300 could pay for visits to a patient in their own home by our community nurses
£676 could pay for 24 hours of hospice care for a patient at the end of their life

Volunteer for us?

We rely on volunteers to help run our fundraising events and Cycle Spring simply couldn’t take place without your support!

From setting up the event to marshalling the course, if you could help (or know someone that could), please call 01543 434533 or email volunteer@stgileshospice.com.

Thank you so much.

We’re here for you… because you’re here for us

Madeleine Whitehouse took part in Cycle Spring 2022 to thank St Giles Hospice for caring for her mum, Deb, in her final days.

She said: “I wish I had the right words to describe the care my mum received at St Giles – it was just phenomenal. We couldn’t have asked for a more positive and peaceful place for mum to pass away.

“My dad was able to stay over at the hospice throughout mum’s time there and they brought us all beds for mum’s final night so that my dad, sister and I could all be with her at the end. They made us feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible – it felt just like we were at home.

“Until you’ve been supported by St Giles, you’ll never truly understand how much the money you raise will mean to the people who are affected by its care. I’m so grateful for everything the staff did for us, and for everything that they’ll continue to do for others in the future.”
