St Lukes Hospice Charity Love and Lace
Hello AllS
Its time for another St Lukes Challenge St Luke's is a hospice which cares for people aged 18 and above throughout Sheffield who have incurable illnesses. Their aim is always to control the patients symptoms, alleviate pain, and give them the best possible quality of life – all free of charge. It costs £6 million per annum to keep St Luke's open, and government funding, via NHS trusts only provides one third of the funds required, which means the Hospice has to raise a staggering £4 million each year to provide this vital end-of-life care.
The Challenge this month is for a Looove card ....Anniversary....Birthday...Wedding..
My card is for a good friends... Diamond Wedding...60 years what an Achievement...
So it would be lovely if you could join in our Challenge this month...and if you could possibly sent the card to the Hospice to raise funds for this wonderful cause....that would be very much appreciated....Address on the St Lukes Blog....
The prize for this months Challenge is a set of Three La Blanche stamps....thanks to Sasha who has kindly donated them...and is a Guest Designer this Month...check out her blog her cards are amazing ....
