Why KEMP needs your support...

At KEMP Hospice, their services are provided free of charge to their patients and their families. 

The cost of running their specialist service increases year on year, for 2013-2014 the Hospice's operating costs are expected to be in excess of £900,000. Only a third of this comes from the Government, the remainder is funded through the kindness of the local community.

Whether you are an invidual, group or business, there are ways you can help.
