In this episode, we talk about Hospice funding. Did you know that St Mary's only receives around one-fifth of the money we need each year from the Government, which means that eight out of ten patients have their care paid for by voluntary donations?

We meet Lottery Manager Clare Shields and hear from Corporate Fundraiser Annabelle Holloway on how to raise money during a cost of living crisis. We also get to hear from our Head of Fundraising Helen Carlson about the strategic work the team does to make sure the money keeps arriving.

We also get to meet 88-year-old Dr Syvia Wood, who talks about jumping out of a plane to raise funds for St Mary's.

In this episode, we meet Kate Davison, our clinical lead, and learn about what makes a palliative nurse, as well as diving deeper into the range of services we offer.

We also meet Dr Gitta Khoury, who talks about coming to the Lakes from Spain just at the start of the pandemic and learn about how hospice care is about so much more than just medical intervention.

We also hear from Jo Firth about the inspiration behind her becoming a care worker, and learn why Chaplin Peter enjoys visiting St Mary's so often.

In today's episode we meet our gardening group, who meet regularly to work in our garden as an outlet to managing grief. We also learn about some of the other services offered by our charity, and from Kirsty, one of our health care assistants, about the options we all have in death.
