Reg Charity No. 700636 “My mum spent time on the ward at Ashgate The event was amazing! We had so much support before returning home where she sadly died in and raised an incredible £2,623! It was one of the January 2018. The Hospice cared for mum whilst best things I’ve ever been involved in and I feel she stayed there, but their support didn’t stop such a sense of pride in myself and my friends, when she left. They provided equipment, visited Rachel and Becky, for making it happen. I’m so Mum at home and were always only a phone call grateful to all our friends, family and members away when we needed them. I wanted to hold of the public for supporting us and making it a Care for a Cuppa event to give something back such a big event. I think we all agree that it’ll to this amazing charity and to help raise funds become an annual event!” for other families, so that they can get this much needed support and care.
