Nilesh Patel, Regional Fundraiser for Sue Ryder – Thorpe Hall Hospice visited the Trinity offices on 6th February to present to the team. Sue Ryder offers specialist palliative and respite care for people living with incurable illnesses and is one of Trinity’s chosen charities for 2014. As part of the Trinity Triple Challenge we are aiming to raise approximately £7,000 to donate towards the appeal which hopes to raise £6 million pounds by March 2015 for the new hospice at Thorpe Hall in Peterborough.
The new hospice will give patients and their families increased privacy, easy patient access as all of the rooms will be on the ground floor, and in summary, a building that is energy efficient and fit for purpose. The old building which is Grade 1 listed will eventually be used to hold events including conferences, training and weddings which will help towards the running costs of the new hospice.
