£5 will pay for a meal for one of our patients at the hospice. All our patients’ meals are prepared in the hospice by our cooks and kitchen staff. Patients are given a choice from the menu, but if they don’t fancy anything on there, we’ll speak to them and make something they’d like to eat. £20 enables us to provide a complementary therapy session for a patient or carer.
