The charity has already purchased the land and detailed plans are drawn up. They are working to secure grant funding to match the funds raised through their network of charity shops and the invaluable support from the community. The charity is moving closer to building this hospice to provide specialist care for patients and their families living with a life-limiting illness, helping to make every moment count.
Their fundraising team is always organising a wide variety of events and fun ways to join in and support the hospice appeal. One such event is their annual “Fashion Xtravaganza” at Great Yarmouth Race course on Saturday 21st April.
