Why is there an entry fee?
The entry fee (£10pp) and any additional donations you choose to make on the day go directly to our work.
We are a local charity, providing free, expert palliative care for people across East London. We care for not just the patient, but their family and loved ones too. Last year, our teams cared for over 6,400 local people needing palliative and end-of-life care. However, our work is not fully funded by the NHS, meaning we need to raise around £6 million every year to meet our running costs.
