Introduction

Why we need your financial help and support
£1 million is needed every year to maintain Joseph Weld & Trimar Hospice and CancerCare Dorset Trust nurses and other services.The Dorset and Somerset Health Authority contributes 42%, but this still leaves £600,000 to raise. Rent and investments provide some regular income, but legacies, donations and fundraising are vital. We rely on the support of you and your friends.

With your assistance we can go on providing the care that people need. Please do what you can to help us to raise that £600,000 every year to keep the nurses on the road.
