Newsletter Autumn 2014 Newsletter Autumn 2014 www.hospicehope.org.uk Support for anyone affected by a life limiting illness in North West Leicestershire Toxic Cherry’s Amazing Fundraising Night! A huge thank you goes to Toxic Cherry owner, Paula Grocock and her team, who presented us with a cheque for an amazing £2,456.78 raised at their Fashion Show and 3rd Birthday Party on 27th June at the Lyric Room, Ashby de la Zouch. Over 120 people attended the party and enjoyed a catwalk fashion show, raffle and auction, all supported by local businesses. Pictured is Paula (far left) and her team, with Chairman, Geoff Foulds. Also included in this newsletter is a separate leaflet about our wonderful Hope and Remembrance Service on Sunday 26th October and two books of raffle tickets for our fantastic 2014 Christmas Raffle. Please support our event and sell as many raffle tickets as you can to your friends, family and work colleagues. For more raffle ticket books please email [email protected] - thank you! Welcome from Dr Geoff Foulds, Chair of Hospice Hope Welcome to my Autumn report and I would like to thank you all for the feedback from the Summer edition, where I was trying to define the concept of the palliative care patient, especially with reference to General Practice. Many people assumed that I was implying that these were the only patients that Hospice Hope may be interested in. This is a simple misunderstanding which I will attempt to clarify. Our Charity is interested in helping any patient, from the panic and fear of first diagnosis, to coping with a life limiting disease on a day to day basis, to coming to terms with the terminal stages of their problem. Relatives and carers need help in dealing with their feelings, as well as practical day to day help and respite opportunities. Sourcing information and contacting many therapeutic groups and individuals to help particular situations is part of our remit if we don’t provide those skills in house. Our role is to ease the patient and relatives through their journey, to help them de stress and facilitate care in any way possible. Our search for premises for the Day Centre continues. We have registered our interest in Ashby Cottage Hospital after beds close at the end of October, and remain very optimistic about the outcome. We are also checking other opportunities on a daily basis, as well as possible retail outlets to raise funds and Hospice Hope’s profile in the community. I can assure you all that the Trustees, including two new members, are working hard to make our aspiration a reality, as soon as possible. We need your help too with fundraising, volunteering, ideas, donations etc. Contact us today to find out how you can play your part to make a difference to all the people we can help. Thank you. Dr Geoff Foulds, MB Chb FRCGP DRCOG Chair of Hospice Hope Telephone: 07935 800 658 ~ Web: www.hospicehope.org.uk ~ Email: [email protected] News from Hospice Hope Update on our Search for New Premises Our property search goes on. Since our Summer newsletter you have probably all heard about our interest in securing an involvement in the future of Ashby Cottage Hospitals. Until we know more, we continue to search for a suitable piece of land to build our ideal property or an existing property that we can convert or extend. Since our last report we have looked at properties in many locations including Ibstock, Swepstone, Newbold Coleorton, Packington, Coalville and Ashby. At the time of writing we still have one more to look at in Newbold Coleorton, which will be visited in the next few days. Again we appeal to you all if you know of a piece of land or a property in any condition that is in the North West Leicestershire area then please let us know, and we will follow it up. Proposed Charity Shop We have looked at various potential vacant shop units in Ashby and Coalville, and have just received the details of Pippa’s Lingerie shop on Market Street, Ashby, which will be inspected as soon as we get an appointment, so watch this space! Recently three of our Trustees visited Treetops Hospice headquarters in Risley and three of their local charity shops, to seek advice and tap into their experience, in preparation for running our own shop.

Someone pulled up one of the concrete bollards from the Dalkeith Walk car park and left it on the grass.
