How Your Donation Helps
Think Twice before throwing away your unwanted goods… One persons rubbish is another person’s treasure! Here at Nottinghamshire Hospice our team is committed to getting the most money from every item donated to us!
The most cost effective way for you to donate is to bring your goods in to one of our stores. On average, each bag of donated items raises £30 towards patient care. The money generated from your donation will go towards providing the following:
| £20 Therapy – Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Reiki are just a few of the treatments patients can receive to relieve their pain or sickness or help reduce sickness and anxiety. A donation of £20 would enable one patient to receive one of the above treatments.
|
| £25 Uniforms – We employ over 50 nurses and therapists in Daycare and Hospice at Home, and they all require 2 uniforms each. A donation of £25 would enable us to buy one pair of trousers and one tunic.
|
| £43 Physiotherapy – Our physiotherapist helps patients increase their mobility and helps them manage their pain and breathlessness to make them more comfortable. A donation of £43 would pay for one Physiotherapy session for one patient.
|
| £52 Counselling Session – Patients and their families/carers often need counselling in order for them to come to terms with their illness. They also find great comfort in the Bereavement support provided. A donation of £52 would pay for one Counselling session with a qualified Counsellor.
|
| £145 A day in Daycare – This would allow one patient to attend Daycare including all transport, care and meals.
|
| £229 Hospice at Home Nightcare– When patients are very ill towards the end of their life, we can provide a Hospice nurse to care for a patient in their own home for a 9hr night shift. A donation of £229 would pay for a Hospice Nurse to care for a patient in their own home for a 9hr night shift.
|
| £1000 Oxygen Concentrators– Many of our patients have chronic lung /respiratory disorders requiring oxygen to help them breath. We can only take a limited amount of patients due to a lack of oxygen concentrators. A donation of £1000 would pay for an oxygen concentrator enabling more patients to use our facilities.
