Introducing… Olly the Orange!
To keep your little ones entertained, especially now schools have started to shut, we’ve created an awesome Activity Pack featuring our adorable new mascot, Olly the Orange.
From dot to dot, to arts and crafts, there’s 13 pages of puzzles and projects perfect for primary school children – and all we’re asking for in return is a minimum donation of £3.
Like all charities, we’re very worried about the impact the coronavirus outbreak will have on our income, with us having no choice but to cancel many of our vital fundraising events.
It costs more than £10 million every single year to deliver the care we provide and our incredible staff are coming to work, whilst everyone else is staying safe at home.
So, download your Olly the Orange Activity Pack today and help us to continue to care for our patients throughout these extremely uncertain times.
We’ve never needed you more than we need you today.
Thank you so much.

We’ve never needed you more than we need you today.
We’ve recognised for a very long time that it takes a community to make a hospice and, in light of the current coronavirus outbreak, we’ve never needed you more than we need you today.
As a hospice we are experiencing a big increase in people needing palliative care at this time.
Our shops have had to close, our events are being cancelled and our income has almost dried up. We are now reliant on donations to continue our work.
We’re continuing to deliver care to some of the most vulnerable people in your local community, but it costs £850,000 every month just to keep our service going.
By taking part in Orange April, you will be helping to raise vital funds for ‘Katie’s Appeal’ to allow us to continue our essential work.
We need you, our patients need you. Thank you so much.
Katie Taroni, Clinical Director
