Over £80k raised to support Hospice@Home at 'Cirque du St John’s'

Earlier this month saw the return of our annual 'Cirque du St John’s' gala dinner which raised over £80,000 to support our Hospice@Home service.

‍

Held at the famous Café de Paris in the heart of London’s Leicester Square on Thursday 11 October, supporters enjoyed an evening of spectacular live on-stage entertainment and fine dining.

‍

This year, the funds raised will be put towards our Hospice@Home service that provides crucial palliative care enabling patients to be cared for at home. The cost of this vital service has increased by 20% year on year in 2018, which will mean an additional £200k to fund.

‍

Director of Fundraising Mark Thomas said: "We would like to say a big thank you to our supporters for all of the generous donations received so far and the donations that are still coming in."
