Saint Catherine’s is launching a brand new Christmas campaign with a very special aim – to raise the 18 thousand pounds it takes to pay for a full 24 hours of services on Christmas Day.
The charity provides specialist care, free of charge, to those with life-limiting conditions, and their loved ones, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
Anne Jackson is St Catherines' Head of Income Generation:
With Christmas fast approaching, Saint Catherine’s has teamed up with national match-funding provider, Big Give, to double all donations made during the live campaign until 10 December 2024.
These donations will then be matched again by local businesses and individuals who have kindly pledged to support the campaign.
Susan Stephenson, fundraiser at Saint Catherine’s, said:
“We’re really excited to be launching our ‘Pay for Christmas Day’ campaign. By linking up with Big Give, it means that with just one donation, you could have twice the impact.
“We know that £18,000 is a huge amount to raise in seven days, but with our community’s support – and with the match funding on offer – we believe that together we can make this happen.”
“Our care does not stop on Christmas Day, or any other day throughout the year. Our aim is to be there for those who need us, when they need us, at the most difficult time of their lives. Saint Catherine’s staff are often called ‘angels’ by patients, and this is particularly apt at Christmas time.”
To get involved, look out for the donation link below, which will be live until Tuesday 10 December, closing at midday.
