Trusts and Foundations

We’d like to say a huge thank you to The Rotherwick Foundation for giving us a £8,500 grant for our Reception Renovation project. With their support, along with contributions from other charitable organisations such as The William Allen Young Charitable Trust, The Four Lanes Trust, and The Shanly Foundation, we hope to welcome our patients, their families, our staff, volunteers, and the local community to a refurbished reception next year. This wonderful generosity highlights the vital role of charitable trusts and foundations in supporting our hospice. Their support allows us to carry out essential initiatives, and we are incredibly grateful for their backing.

If you know of any Trust or Foundation (big or small) that might be willing to support our services, please do not hesitate to contact us at bhanavee.sharma@stmichaelshospice.org.uk
