St Elizabeth Hospice
St Elizabeth Hospice was established in 1989 and cares for patients in East Suffolk who have a life-limiting illness for
whom the focus of care is quality of life.
Our aim is to meet all of our patient's physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs whilst giving support and help to
family, friends and carers. St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity and all of the wide ranging services are provided
free of charge. It costs £8 per minute to run St Elizabeth Hospice, with annual running costs of £4.2 million.
In order to ensure we can continue to care and support our patients and their family, friends and carers, we need your help.
One way you can help, is to set up a Tribute Fund in memory of a loved one, to honour and celebrate their life in a very
special way. The Fund will be named after someone special and you can invite friends, family and colleagues to contribute
to the Fund in any way they choose for any length of time, in whatever way feels right for them. Kate Moyes' family and
friends decided to create a Tribute Fund in her memory. To date the Fund contains £34,952.25 and the funds raised from
this years Kesgrave Music Festival will add to the total.
You can help make a Tribute Fund grow by:
- making a donation on a special occasion or significant date such as a birthday or anniversary
- raising money by skydiving, running a marathon or taking part in one of our other sponsored events
- organising your own event such as a dance, music night or quiz
- donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral to go to the Fund or you may wish to use St Elizabeth Hospice 'Remembering
Someone Special' envelopes
- remembering St Elizabeth Hospice in your will by leaving a legacy, specifying that a Tribute Fund is established in
that name.
Any donation, however big or small can be placed into a Tribute Fund. You can give a single gift or make regular gifts by
standing order. By taking advantage of Gift Aid, this will increase the value of your gift to us at no extra charge to
yourself - making your donation go further. Seeing a Tribute Fund grow can give a great sense of achievement and be a
powerful and positive way to honour the life of someone special. St Elizabeth Hospice has produced a Tribute Fund pack to
provide you with all the information you need to set up a Tribute Fund in memory of a loved one. The Hospice will take
care of all the paperwork and send regular updates on the total in the Fund and the Tribute Fund holder will also receive
a certificate.
