St Christopher's Staff are taking on the Sahara Trek
We are 6 members of staff who work across St Christopher's.
Dave - Information Governance Manager & Data Protection Officer
Jaki - Education Support Officer
Lorna P - Clinical Team Lead (Rehabilitation and Wellbeing)
Lorna M - Visiting Lecturer/Physiotherapist
Christine - Head of Public Fundraising
Suzy - Community & Events Fundraising
Despite our different roles, we are all supporting the hospice by raising sponsorship for our participation in the Sahara Trek.
Any donations and support you can give will be hugely appreciated.
Wish us luck!
St Christopher’s Hospice exists to promote and provide skilled and compassionate palliative care of the highest quality.
Their vision is of a world in which all dying people and those close to them have access to appropriate care and support, when they need it, wherever they need it and whoever they are.
They rely on the generosity of their community, through fundraising campaigns like this, to continue providing our specialist palliative care and familiy care services free of charge.
Thank you for your support.
