Last Christmas Appeal
What if this Christmas was your last?
Who would you want by your side? What moments would you treasure – the smell of mince pies, the sparkle of fairy lights, or simply the warmth of a loved one’s hand?
For many patients being cared for by St. Michael’s Hospice, this Christmas may be their last. With your support, we can make it as special and unique as they are – filled with comfort, love, and joy.
Your gift today will help families create precious memories that last a lifetime.
At St. Michael’s, every patient is seen as an individual – with their own story, wishes, and hopes. Whether in our In-Patient Unit or at home, our dedicated team provides expert and compassionate care, taking the time to understand what matters most and ensuring patients can spend their final days with dignity and peace.
Care doesn’t stop for Christmas, and with your help, neither do we.
By donating to our Last Christmas Appeal, you can bring warmth, comfort, and joy when it matters most.
With just 22% of our funding coming from the NHS, we face the challenge of raising £14,500 every single day to continue providing essential care – Christmas is no exception.
Please give today and help families create magical festive moments that will be cherished forever. Time with loved ones is the greatest gift we have. For some, this will be their last Christmas.

All the money raised from this appeal will go towards caring for our patients and their loved ones. Your donation will not be restricted to supporting a certain area of the Hospice. If we’re fortunate enough to raise more than required for a particular need, we will spend any additional donations where they are most needed.
