Charities
The Salisbury Hospice provides Specialist Palliative Care Services in the Salisbury and the surrounding Wiltshire area. People who benefit from Salisbury Hospice are those faced with a progressive life limiting disease, the majority of whom will have cancer. At any one time there are over 180 patients in our care. All services are free of charge. Salisbury Hospicecare Trust is committed to raising £1 million each year to maintain and develop the work of the Hospice and Specialist Palliative Care Services. The Hospice is situated on the southern boundary of the Salisbury District Hospital. The Hospice Inpatient Unit has 10 beds in regular use. The Palliative Care at Home Services provides care for our patients. A team of five Community Nurses visit patients in their homes throughout the Salisbury area. The Hospital Palliative Care Team visit patients in local Hospitals. The Peter Gillam Support Centre provides activities and care for out-patients and their carers. A Family Support Team and voluntary counsellors provide Bereavement support. The Medical and Nursing staff have received recognition for their work in the field of Palliative Care and play an active role in providing training in such skills. There is a volunteer team of over 100 local people who support the work of the professional medical staff in a variety of ways. Our fundrasing team is constantly working to raise money to maintain and develop the work of the Hospice.
We exist to help improve the lives of people affected by cancer, both those living with cancer and also their families and carers. Our primary focus is to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer.

Sarah Gent's fundraising page
Hi, thanks for visiting my page. I am raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support and the Salisbury Hospice Trust in memory of my dear friend Jim, who recently passed away after a battle with cancer. Both these charities were able to give him help and support when he and his family needed it.
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations. With your help I will be able to overcome the 26.2 miles!
Sarah
