Friends of LOROS regular giving
Give every month to help us be here every day.
“LOROS has made such a difference; it’s been such an exhausting few years.” - LOROS patient, Gwen
Being diagnosed with a terminal illness is devastating, and turns a family’s world upside down. What becomes important is making the most of the days, weeks and months left.
Can you give every month to help us be here every day?
By supporting us with a regular gift today, you will be helping us to ensure we can continue caring for patients and their families, not just today but in the future too.
You can choose to donate as little as £5 a month, which can provide a day of meals for a patient, materials for creative therapy or even pain relieving medication. It’s all set up through direct debit, so it couldn’t be easier for you to help our patients.
The difference you could make...
Gwen’s Story
For people like Gwen, LOROS Day Therapy has turned her life around. 12 months ago, every day was a battle for her. She was very low and life had become a cocktail of appointments, operations and emotions. One year on and she says spending time at the Hospice has lifted her up. She feels like a person again, not just another number, as she jokes and laughs with staff and fellow patients – something she says is therapy in itself.
£5 per month could enable patients to make beautiful arts and crafts to create memories and gifts for their loved ones.
Richard’s Story
I think the Home Visiting Service is absolutely great. Beforehand, I was sitting at home in my chair and never went out; now I’m guaranteed to go out at least once a week, with my home visitor. She brings her dog with her and we go for dog walks together; I love animals, so this really suits me. I look forward to her visit, we’ve developed quite the friendship and as the weeks go on, the better we get on. To be honest, I think I’d be lost without her now.
£12 per month could pay for an hour’s home visit to a patient and their loved ones at home, giving their carers previous time to do other things.
Geoff’s Story
The staff and volunteers are just lovely, they’re all brilliant and they always have a smile on their face. I just ring my buzzer if I need anything, even during the night and there’s always somebody there. It’s peace of mind, not just for me but for my family too, to know that I’m in safe hands. LOROS really is a home from home, not just for patients but for their loved ones.
£25 per month could pay for an hour of care which means we can preserve the dignity of our patients through offering help with bathing, dressing and eating.
By setting up a regular donation to LOROS today, you could provide the comfort and reassurance our patients need at end of life.
