Attendance at fetes, trade shows, exhibitions and garden parties provide a welcome source of income from sales of our goods and our shop in the Hospice is proving to be very successful.

Sales of Christmas cards, calendars and seasonal goods increase year by year and some members sell goods on a sale and return basis through clubs, social groups and places of employment.
Annual flag day collections, door to door collections and servicing of over 200 collecting tins provide other substantial sources of income. The introduction of home collecting boxes is providing a new source of funding.
