How We're Helping St Nicholas Hospice

...by taking part in the Towergate Accumulator Challenge

Cinnamon Edge joined the Towergate Challenge the moment it was mentioned. Jacqui jumped at the chance to help St Nicholas Hospice and we soon learned just how much help they need (£10,000 per day!)

We also learned how much work they do outside the Hospice itself. In fact, most of their work is with outpatients and home visits, including an invaluable bereavement conselling service.

We saw more about that on the BBC video we watched at the launch - there was hardly a dry eye in the room as we discovered just how precious the hospice's services are to so many people.

Here's a short video about the launch:

The Challenge itself is to take the £50 note that each of the competing teams received that evening and turn it into as much cash for the hospice as possible, using any legal and ethical means we can think of. We've thought of plenty.

But please think about donating, even if you don't want to take part in the challenge. St Nicholas Hospice Care is a priceless resource for people contemplating the final days of their lives, and for their loved ones.

Roy and Jacqui,
