Andy Perry,the Trusts and Legacies fundraiser for St Catherine’s, seen in the photo with Town Mayor Bob Mainstone, received a cheque from the Town Council’s Community Grant Scheme. “It was a pleasure to meet Cllr Mainstone and to have the opportunity to explain the ways in which St Catherine’s provides end of life care to meet the needs of local people.” said Andy.

Last year, St Catherine’s Hospice cared for more than 2,000 patients and their family and friends. Offering practical and emotional support, the care St Catherine’s provides is free to patients and their families. Receiving less than a third of their running costs from the NHS, St Catherine’s relies on the generosity and support of the local community.  A donation of £300 from East Grinstead Town Council is helping make a real difference to terminally ill people in East Grinstead, where each year St Catherine’s cares for about 150 people and those closest to them.
