Our Precious Time appeal gives you the opportunity to have your generous donations doubled!
On Sunday 21 and Monday 22 April, our Precious Time Appeal will launch. It’s only during this 36-hour period that your donations will be doubled, thanks to a pool of matching funds provided by an amazing a group of major donors.
The Precious Time Appeal will tell the story of the incredible care given by St Gemma’s at the end of life. If you are using hospice services, however long you have – months, weeks, days – it is not long and it is very precious. We can’t wait to share our special film illustrating how our team does everything we can to make this precious time as liveable and precious as possible.
The appeal will run online using the CharityExtra platform. We’re incredibly grateful to have a group of champions who will lead the fundraising appeal and invite their social networks to support the Precious Time Appeal on Sunday 21 and Monday 22 April.
Demand for our services is growing all the time and this fundraising appeal will give our kind supporters, like you, the chance to double the impact of your support.
Chief Executive Kerry Jackson OBE says, “Demand for palliative care at our hospice and in the community is growing all the time, so St Gemma’s has to do more to sustain the vital care we provide. The Precious Time Appeal is a unique opportunity for those who want to support our work, to get their donation instantly doubled. Thanks to our generous matching fund donors and our champions, I’m confident that this innovative appeal will make a huge difference to patient care at St Gemma’s.”
