How do you raise the money which does not come from the NHS Because we have to raise the rest of the money ourselves, we try to suggest different ways people can support us so that something appeals to everyone. Every year we are amazed at the ideas and generosity of those who support us, but our own events such as the Dragon Boat Race, Sky Dives and Wing Walks in particular are fun ways to support us. We also raise funds through our three charity shops, one off and regular donations, and through those who chose to remember us in their will. What can local people do to help Beaumond House Not only do we rely heavily on this local community raising funds but also to volunteer to support us – we use volunteers across all aspects of the organisation, from helping in the shops, to talking to and enjoying activities with day-therapy patients, driving, cooking and office based work. We’d love to hear from anyone who can offer some time and or skills to help us – there is always so much to do to keep the organisation running- so the generosity of a huge team of volunteers helps us do this.

Cathy Lowe – Head of Fundraising and Marketing How much does it cost to run all of the services at Beaumond House It costs around £1.3million every year to continue to run all of the services at Beaumond House. Where does all of that money come from We currently receive around £500,000 from the Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS) in return for providing the services of our inpatient unit., our Hospice at Home Team and the Day-therapy unit. We do not receive any CCG funding for other services such as complementary therapy and bereavement support.

How can I make a donation to support your work Its really easy to donate to support Beaumond House – just go to our website beaumondhouse.co.uk and click donate and you can choose how much and how often you would like to support us. How much of your money is spent on supporting local people It is important that we tell people that all of the money they donate to and raise for Beaumond House is spent in this local area to support local people.
