Mary Potter Hospice fundraising
I can't remember or locate the thread of the discussion but a few days ago I responded to a thread - possibly on Neighbourly or on one of the local Facebook pages that come up on my newsfeed - regarding solicitations for for regular donations for the hospice - either by collectors in the street or by door-knockers. I make a monthly donation to the hospice in recognition of the loving care my mother received there in 1990 - but became concerned that a fee to another entity might be being deducted from my now monthly automatic payment. I had a ring this afternoon from the Hospice to assure me that my money in full goes towards the operation of the hospice and no professional fees or other payments are made to anyone else. I was thanked for getting in touch - so anyone else who has concerns should contact the Hospice direct for clarification and reassurance. The Hospice offers a wonderful service to patients and their families and I am forever grateful to the loving care my mother received.
