The Mark 'Swifty' Swift Annual Memorial Golf Tournament and Auction help to raise funds in aid of Manorlands Hospice where the staff helped to take care of Mark during his illness.We asked Andrew Wood a Fundraiser at Manorlands to tell us something about the hospice itself.
"Sue Ryder Care – Manorlands Hospice is based at Oxenhope, Keighley. It is one of 14 Sue Ryder Care hospices in the UK and each year it cares for almost 650 local people from Keighley, Bradford Airedale, and the dales.
Manorlands Hospice relies on voluntary contributions for the majority of its income and never charges patients for any of the care they receive. The hospice will cost £2.0 million to run in 2008. Over £1.1 million of this needs to be raised from the local community.
Sue Ryder Care is dedicated to helping the people it cares for to get the best from life and we care for the whole of an individual’s needs be they social, psychological, physical or spiritual. We care for people in the area living with cancer and other life limiting illnesses as well as providing support for their families and carers.
The services based at Manorlands Hospice include a 16 bed in-patient unit, a day therapy unit and community team as well as specialist bereavement counsellors and complementary therapists."
It's good to know we are helping a great cause!
