Nottinghamshire Hospice provides hogh quality palliative care to adults in Nottinghamshire living with a life limiting illness, and provides respite and support to their carers. 1. Day therapy – coming to terms with a terminal diagnosis can be very hard, especially if you live alone or with a partner who is struggling to cope. We provide the only dedicated unit in Nottinghamshire for people with a terminal diagnosis. Every day, up to 35 people attend, giving carers a much needed break. Our palliative care nurses, backed by a team of doctors, physiotherapists, counsellors, complimentary therapists, and volunteers, provide physical symptom and pain management, emotional support and, perhaps most important for all of those living alone, companionship. 2. Hospice at home – our team of palliative care nurses help a patient and their family to define what a ‘good death’ means for them. For the vast majority, it means dying at home, as free from pain as possible, with their family close by. We provide calm, compassionate and caring support from referral to death, managing pain and giving over-worked carers a break. 3. Counselling and Bereavement Support – as most people want to die at home, this can place an enormous strain on family carers. Often the carer must cope with the emotional strain of grief for their terminally-ill loved one. With the focus of the medical profession on the patient, the needs of the carer can be forgotten. We provide pre and post-bereavement support for people across the whole of Nottinghamshire who have experienced a bereavement - they do not have to have previously been involved with Nottinghamshire Hospice.

Abuse ruins childhood, but it can be prevented. That’s why we’re here. That’s what drives all our work, and that’s why – as long as there’s abuse – we will fight for every childhood. We help children rebuild their lives, and we find ways to prevent abuse from ruining any more. So when a child needs a helping hand, we’ll be there. When parents are finding it tough, we’ll help. When laws need to change, or governments need to do more, we won’t give up until things improve. Abuse changes childhood. But so can we.

Ovacome is a UK- wide support network providing information and support for everyone affected by ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women in the UK, with around 6, 800 new cases each year.

Action. One third of our name and 100% of what we’re about. And while we’re talking numbers, here’s another: one woman dies in the UK from ovarian cancer every two hours. Although five-year survival rates for ovarian cancer are improving, other cancers, such as breast cancer, had better survival rates two generations ago than ovarian cancer does today. We’re here to change all that. And we’re following two routes to achieve that change: awareness raising and scientific research. Over the last fifteen years, our efforts to fund and facilitate the very best ovarian cancer research have achieved dramatic results. But, of course, there’s more work to be done. Thanks to the continuing generosity of our supporters, we’re now committed to funding the next generation of research and to accelerating progress in three main areas: preventing the disease, diagnosing it early, and developing effective, personalised treatments. We believe this approach will help more women survive ovarian cancer than ever before. Take action with us now and transform the lives and prospects of women today and for generations to come.
