Nick CEO St Raphael's Hospice which provides palliative & end of life care for over 1,000 patients every year across Merton and Sutton.

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

I am very sorry to have announced @st_Raphs is having to make significant cost reductions. @HospiceUK report 1 in 5 hospices are being forced to make cuts. Watch us on @5_News highlighting this funding crisis. The new government now needs to step up. https://t.co/pDh8m2NP9B

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

Our #volunteers are the gold at the heart of St Raphael’s and we could not open our shops, run activities or welcome everyone to our hospice without these teams as part of our service. Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers who make St Raphael's so special. #VolunteersWeek

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

Please read the words of Debbie & Bruce who volunteer in our retail team – they are the backbone to all that we do. They build relationships with customers and colleagues and have fun at the same time. Please join them and help St Raphael’s support families across our boroughs.🙏

[St Raphael's Hospice @St_Raphs]

Do you, or someone you know, have a couple of hours to spare each week?

We urgently need more people to help run our 12 local charity shops across #Merton and #Sutton.

Congratulations and massive thanks to our marathon runners, raising £32,000 to help fund the Hospice!

#HealthSecretary take note – it is utterly wrong that we rely on this to fund critical statutory health services – imagine if maternity care depended on this. #Hospice #Funding

[St Raphael's Hospice @St_Raphs]

£31,996 and counting! 👏

#TeamStRaphs have humbled us once again with an incredible effort yesterday running the #LondonMarathon. We had 12 runners raise this amazing amount!

Disappointed that the Parliamentary Debate on hospice funding was postponed yesterday…so important and needs a slot very soon; imagine if maternity services relied on charity shop sales and sponsored cycle-rides! End of life care should be a right not a lottery. #Hospice

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

Thank you to all involved in the design and launch of our “Sponsor a Nurse” campaign.

This is a chance for our community to get behind the Hospice and raise the funds we need to provide our vital services; so please support us and help us to be there when we are needed.

[St Raphael's Hospice @St_Raphs]

Will you sponsor a nurse?

Our nurses provide specialist end-of-life care. They are a source of comfort & reassurance for patients & those close to them, during the toughest times. A regular donation will help ensure they can continue their vital support.

It was such a pleasure to show Ruth Dombey @LeaderSutton around our hospice and to talk together about the breadth and depth of what is done by our skilled and passionate team.

Thank you for coming Ruth, and showing your support for our vital fundraising too! 🙏

[Cllr Barry Lewis, Leader of Sutton Council @LeaderSutton]

It was great to hear from Nick Stevens CEO of @St_Raphs about their work providing palliative & end of life care in Sutton
Amazing staff & volunteers provide emotional, spiritual & social support to patients & their families. Please support their upcoming fun fundraising events

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

Making special memories is priceless and here is another example of Paula and the team making a difference.

Our patient had a wish to see her children go on an #Easter egg hunt. 🐤

They arrived yesterday & Paula provided the treasure. They were eggcellent finding every bit of choc in the Hospice!

@FrancoMancaPizz provided delicious pizzas to put the extra topping on a special day.

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

Community in action!

Taking on a challenge, selling handmade pottery & gaining sponsorship using business contacts are just some of the ways we have been supported in January by members of our community.🙏

We only receive 25% from NHS, can you help raise the other 75% in 2024?

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

We’re certainly feeling loved by our neighbours at St Anthony’s Hospital. 2 of their intrepid staff, Vickey & Stephanie, have climbed #BenNevis to raise funds for St Raphael’s in memory of Vickey’s mum, having fun & supporting a vital local charity - Thank you Vickey & Stephanie!

[Nick Stevens @NickStevensCEO]

Great to partner with @GenuineSol, pioneers in sustainability & the recycling of mobile tech. We too care for our community and our environment using battery gardening equipment & our charity shops are all about recycling. You may have seen our purple electric vans on the roads!

[St Raphael's Hospice @St_Raphs]

Last week, our friends @GenuineSol popped by to make a very special #donation. Here they are with our staff who are holding 5 brand new Apple iPad Airs! 🤗💜
