The Hospice aims to improve the quality of life for those individuals living with their conditions, and also offer support to their families. Hospice care can be provided in the community at the patient’s home, or in one of the hospice’s units.
1 in 3 people in Northern Ireland have had a friend or family member who has benefited from hospice care. and as a charity the NI Hospice rely heavily on donations to ensure they can continue offering care, dignity, and compassion to people who are facing the end of their life.
Sue MacLaughlin, director of Bluebird Care Coleraine, commented:
We understand the important role that the Northern Ireland Hospice plays in delivering invaluable services to their patients and families. Every year we like to support the Hospice by taking part in their sponsored walk knowing that the money we raise will provide much needed services and support.
