Cynthia Spencer Hospice

Cynthia Spencer Hospice

Cynthia Spencer Hospice provides specialist palliative care for people diagnosed with life-limiting and terminal illnesses and their families at the Hospice in Northampton and across West Northamptonshire through our Clincal Nurse Specialist and Hospice at Home Community Care Teams.

The hospice is also home to a county-wide Lymphoedema service and a day-care Wellbeing Service. Care at the Hospice focuses on helping patients to enjoy the best quality of life possible - controlling their pain and other symptoms; offering emotional and practical support; providing suitable treatments and therapies and, when the time comes providing the best care to ensure a comfortable and dignified death.

All their hospice services are offered free of charge, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and although part-funded by the NHS they rely on their local community to raise one third of every £1 they spend on care.

This year they need to raise £2,205,825. That's £6,052 per day to continue all the services that Cynthia Spencer Hospice currently provides in Northampton and across West Northamptonshire.

Without the ongoing support and generosity of their local community, they would not be able to provide and continue to grow their services and teams.

From your very first game, you will help Cynthia Spencer Hospice raise vital funds that will support people in the local community when they need it the most. Here are just a few of the vital services your contributions have helped pay for:

• Senior In-patient nurses and other healthcare staff.
• Lymphoedema nurses.
• Occupational therapists.
• Physiotherapists.
• Wellbeing service.
• Childrens’ Memory Boxes.
• Support for families.

How Do I Win?

When you join, we will allocate you with a lottery play number. Our draws are randomly drawn each Friday (with exception when this is a Bank Holiday, when it will take place the working day prior). You don’t need to check the results every week, although you can if you want to. If you win, we will contact you to let you know. If we have your email, your prize winnings will automatically go into your Your Hospice Lottery account; where you can then request a withdrawal, after which monies are then transferred into your bank account, or if you don’t have an email with us, a letter and cheque will be sent via post (please make sure that we have your up to date address).
