Organised by

Sue Ryder

Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness or the loss of a loved one – we’re there when it matters.

For over 65 years, our doctors, nurses and carers have given people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live the best life they possibly can.

It will cost us around £48m to run our healthcare services next year. We expect to receive £30.4m in statutory funding, so we will need to raise £17.3m through donations or funds raised by incredible supporters like you.

84p in every £1 spent goes towards delivering specialist patient care and support in our hospices and in the community.
