Louis Breese, Community Fundraising Manager at Peace Hospice Care, said: “We were thrilled to see such a tremendous response from our local schools. It’s been so exciting to work with them on this project. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who got involved. Not only have the schools raised vital funds, they’ve also helped to raise awareness of what we do and why it matters.”
Peace Hospice Care provides free specialist support for people and their families facing life-limiting illnesses across South West Hertfordshire and the wider area. Peace Hospice Care needs £5 million a year to deliver its free services. Now, for every £1 of income received, less than 20p comes from the NHS.
