Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care provides supportive and end of life care for those living with a terminal illness (such as cancer, heart, lung or neurological disease) and every day supports over 250 patients, relatives and carers - in their own homes, in the community, at the Hospice in Farnham and at the Beacon Centre in Guildford. It offers a mix of medical and nursing care, therapies, counselling, social work advice and practical support. However, as the NHS/Government only covers 20% of its costs, it has to raise over £20,000 a day to be able to offer all of its services, free of charge, to its patients and their families. It therefore relies heavily on the support and generosity of the local community.
There are a number of ways in which you can support Phyllis Tuckwell:
- Make a donation.
- Take part in a fundraising event organised by Phyllis Tuckwell.
- Organise your own community event to raise funds.
- Become a corporate partner.
- Purchase items or donate your unwanted goods or furniture to one of 20 Phyllis Tuckwell charity shops in the area.
- Take part in the Tuckwell CHASE lottery.
- Join the team of volunteers at the Hospice or Beacon Centre.
The Hospice care charity is named after local mother, Phyllis Tuckwell, who died from cancer in 1970. The Hospice opened its doors in 1979 following a lengthy campaign to create a modern hospice and provide greater choice for terminally ill patients. The high profile committee launched a public appeal to raise the funds needed to found the Hospice.
