- Ashgate Hospice – You may well be aware of the current situation re Ashgate Hospice where they are having to reduce inpatient beds, cut staffing numbers, and reduce services due to lack of funding. Nine beds were earmarked for closure but two have been saved for six months due to the generosity of people. We are having a retiring collection in church on Sunday 21st December and at the Carol Service on Wednesday 24th December at 6.00pm. Please support this vital hospice in our community if you are able. Thank You.
