A NEW group has formed in Pickering to raise money for Saint Catherine’s hospice.
The group is one the Saint Catherine’s support groups. It is already busy planning a calendar of events to raise funds for Saint Catherine’s and is looking for new members.
Nicky Grunwell, Saint Catherine’s fundraiser, said: “We are over the moon that our new Pickering Support Group is now in action. I am looking forward to the fundraising that they have in store.
"We are always looking for new members to join the group."
Saint Catherine’s has spent more than 30 years providing specialist care to patients with a terminal illness.
It provides services free-of-charge to patients and their families from an area of more than 1600 square miles, including Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Whitby and Ryedale.
Its services include an in-patient unit, an out-patient clinic, a wellbeing centre, a hospice at home team, nursing specialist teams for community, neurology and care homes, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, bereavement support and Palcall out-of-hours service.
