Susan Stephenson, fundraiser, said: “For the past 40 years, we have been providing specialist care for people in our community at a time in their life when they need it the most.

“We have helped to change lives for the better with practical and emotional support, but we have only been able to do this with the help of our amazing supporters – we cannot do it alone.

“By taking part in our Big Ruby Raffle, you are helping provide the following essential services and much more, both now and into the future:

• Comfort and care in our in-patient unit
• Home-cooked meals tailored to patients’ needs
• Emotional support through bereavement counselling
• Wellbeing services and complementary therapies
• Practical support from specialist social workers.

“Every raffle ticket bought makes a huge difference – thank you for being part of the Saint Catherine’s family. Here’s to the next 40 years of care.”

Here are some of the comments we have received about our care:

• “I appreciated the care given to my wife so much. She was so content being here. The nursing care was outstanding.”
• “Thank you for all your hard work with the Cancer Wellbeing Cafe, you’ve made a difficult time enjoyable.”
• “We will never forget what you did for us all and our dad. Words can’t thank you enough.”
