Why Let it Glow?
The Shakespeare Hospice is one of the lowest funded Hospices in the UK –
receiving just 5% from Government funding. We therefore rely on the
generosity and support of the local community to help us raise over £2
Million each to allow us to run our services. By taking part in this event
you are helping us continue our vital care in the community and local
surrounding areas.
