Fantastic fundraisers

Last year 4802 people donated to North London Hospice, each one with their own reason to give. We are grateful for each and every donation. Thank You.

Ali Ghaffari’s ‘Team Elisabeth’

@ Big Fun Walk £8,000 Raised

Ali’s wife was cared for by North London Hospice. “They cared for us with expertise and humility and they continued supporting the family afterwards. My reason for taking part in Big Fun Walk was purely financial. I wanted to raise as much money as I could to contribute to their support of other patients and families. However, I was amazed by the support we got from our families, friends and colleagues across the world, by their donations and willingness to take part in the walk. The day of the walk was so enjoyable with our team of 23, all getting to know each other. I am looking forward to BFW2023, with an even larger “Team Elisabeth” and hopefully more fundraising.”

Courtney Brothers Year of Challenges £10,000 Raised

Brothers Tom, Jack and Dan Courtney took on a year of challenges to raise funds for the hospice that cared for their Nanny Bubbles, culminating in the London Marathon.

“The big day itself was one we will never forget. It was one of the best days of our lives,” said Tom. “The support we had was monumental, and that, and our memories of our late Nanny Bubbles, really propelled us to get over the line. Virtually every inch of road had members of the public screaming your name in support, clapping and chanting motivational words! The atmosphere was sensational – It was amazing to have run for North London Hospice.”

June Stevenson’s Moroccan Mountain Trek £5,000 raised

“I chose to trek Mount Toubkal in aid of the hospice after my husband was admitted in October 2018. Austin received the best care and compassion and staff also greatly supported family and friends. While in the hospice I read about the fundraising challenges and vowed to do something to help the hospice. I completed the five-day Mount Toubkal trek in Morocco in August 2022. The feeling of pure enjoyment and accomplishment on getting to the summit was indescribable. The best part was celebrating with the greatest bunch of people who were all raising money for their own charities. I’d highly recommend this to anyone thinking of supporting this wonderful hospice.”

Barnet Educational Arts Trust

£600

Raised

Thank you to BEAT for organising a concert in memory of their dear friend and colleague, Sylvia, and raising funds for patient care.

“Sylvia’s passion for music and teaching was a huge part of her life, so we wanted to remember and celebrate her with a special concert involving the children she worked with. North London Hospice gave incredible support to Sylvia and her family, and we were really pleased to be able to give something back.”

Morrisons Foundation

£18,979

Grant

We were delighted to visit Morrisons in Palmers Green to receive a generous grant from the Morrisons Foundation, which will pay for an accessible bath and a number of specialist arm chairs for our Inpatient Unit, plus two cuddle blankets for patients. We look forward to working with the Palmers Green store’s community champion Parineeta and her colleagues in the future.
