Sponsor Our Nurses
Our nurses and healthcare assistants are at the heart of our hospice at home service. They are experienced in palliative care, focusing on symptom control, emotional support and personal care to provide the best possible end of life support to patients, their families and carers.
To help raise the £700,000 we need each year to run our service, we’ve launched a ‘Sponsor our nurses’ campaign with a promise that every penny raised through this scheme will go directly towards our nursing services.
Could you give a monthly gift to Shipston Home Nursing to help our team to continue to care for patients in their own homes? How much you give is entirely up to you and all our sponsors will receive an annual update on our progress.
How your gift could help
Your donation could help fund:
- A home visit from a nurse coordinator to assess a new patient’s symptoms and help them plan for the future
- A night stay by a nurse to provide symptom control and emotional support to the family
- A personal care or respite visit by a healthcare assistant
