Your Impact

We care for 2,000 Community Patients, 300 Inpatients and 600 Living Well service patients per year. Our team is made up of doctors, nurses, dietitians, therapists, counsellors, psychologists, patient & family advisors, welfare advisors and chaplains, all of whom understand the wide range of issues which patients and their loved ones may be dealing with.

By providing individual tailored care, strategies and support, we enable patients to stay mobile, independent and positive, helping them to feel more in control of things, and ready to make the most of the rest of their life... because every day is precious.

It costs over £13million to provide all of our services for a year, but we don't charge our patients or families a single penny. The Government/NHS only provide around 25% of our income. We therefore need to fundraise over £25,000 a day to provide all of our services.

Fundraising makes it possible for our charity to continue supporting patients, relatives and carers every day in their own homes, in the community, on our In-Patient unit and at the Beacon Centre in Guildford. Thank you for your support!
