There is never an easy time to lose a loved one, but we know that for many terminally ill patients, their families and friends, the festive season can be especially painful. That’s why, with your support, it’s so important for us to provide special, lasting memories for those we are caring for.

And who better to tell you about it than Robyn, our In Patient Centre Manager at St Luke’s?


Christmas Appeal 2024 Web Page Notes

Meet Robyn, our In Patient Centre Manager


"On behalf of our team of dedicated nurses and support staff, I’m asking if you could help our patients receive the expert nursing care they need this festive season; to give them and their families a special Christmas.

I’m honoured to be part of a team that goes above and beyond, providing dignified and compassionate care for our patients and their families at such a poignant time. Our care extends far beyond our In Patient Centre; in fact, right now, our St Luke’s funded Community team is caring for around 350 people across Sheffield, providing comfort and support in their own homes or care homes.

For me and my colleagues to deliver our expert palliative care, we rely on generous support from people like you. It will cost us £14 million this year to provide our care to the hundreds of people who stay on our In Patient Centre, and to around 1,500 more that we support in their own homes each year.

We are a charity and only 25% of our running costs are covered by Government funding, meaning that we rely on the generosity of people like you to make what we do possible. Your support has always been at the heart of our ability to provide specialist palliative care.

But the need is growing, and this festive season, we’re asking for your help more than ever.

A generous donation of £25 could contribute to an hour of care for one of our patients. Your donation will help to continue our tailored support, providing the care each patient needs, to stay well and pain-free for as long as possible, helping them to enjoy Christmas with their loved ones and make it one to remember.

This year, we ask you to take a moment to remember those who are spending time being cared for by St Luke’s, both in their own homes and on our In Patient Centre.

Thank you in advance for your kind and generous support for St Luke’s this year. I wish you and your loved ones a very special festive period."
