ST KENTIGERN hospice has given a rare insight into how they are coping as a huge fundraising drive is launched. The St Asaph based hospice, which cares and supports patients with life-limiting conditions and their families across Denbighshire, East Conwy and West Flintshire, is running an urgent appeal for funds.

A total of 60 per cent of their fundraising income has been lost. Laura Ellis-Bartlett, fundraising manager at St Kentigern Hospice, said: “The last 12 months have been tough for many. The staff at the hospice have been working day and night to maintain its high standards of support for patients and families. This includes providing counselling sessions via the telephone and online, access to our ‘Hear and Now’ telephone services and many more.
