Hello from Benedict

I

am really proud to welcome you to the St Luke’s Autumn Newsletter.

It’s all about 'making a difference' and this fits perfectly with my story.

Contents

In 2018 my Mum had treatment for breast cancer. I hated seeing her suffer and she was so brave, trying hard to keep everything going for me and my brother. She was referred to St Luke’s half way through her treatment and I was overwhelmed by just how much they helped my Mum recover and get her life back.

St Luke’s made a huge difference to me, and my mum, and that made me want to make a difference for St. Luke’s. But how could I possibly repay them for the lifesaving care they gave my mum?

I know 'lifesaving' is a strong description, but I really feel they gave my mum her life back.

P20 Dates for your diary

I go to Weaverham High School and each year, every Form chooses a charity to support. So, I told them my Mum’s story and how St. Luke’s had been so fantastic. My classmates and my form tutor, Mr Ripley, agreed to help and we set about raising money. We held sponsored events, filled Smarties tubes with coins and even gave up our phones for 24 hours and raised over £1,200!

So, as you read this newsletter, please remember all the things you can do to make a difference.

Thank you,

Benedict (age 12)

Kim's story Kim (left) with Complementary Therapist Yvonne Singh

W

hen Kim and Keith Carrington planned for their retirement they imagined lots of laughs, trips abroad, maybe even buying a caravan. But when Keith was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and dementia in 2014 all those plans changed.

“The diagnosis was such a shock. Keith was always the party goer, he used to enjoy socialising and going out and he seemed to withdraw from all of that. We used to go on holiday two or three times a year and it all just stopped, and it has been very difficult to come to terms with.”

Kim’s own health began to suffer with the stress of caring for Keith. After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and then pneumonia, she took early retirement from her job in April to become a full-time carer for Keith.

To support her in that caring role, Kim has received counselling, nurse-led complementary therapies and attended the Relaxation Plus group at St Luke's. The Hospice has also supported her in dealing with the emotional aspect of Keith's illness, as well as looking at the practical aspects of caring for him.

“It took a while for me to learn to slow down and relax because I was always on the go.

I’ve had so much broken sleep, sometimes getting up with Keith three to five times a night, so they are helping me get a sleep pattern back again. I felt a bit of a prisoner in my own home and very lonely because Keith doesn’t strike up conversation any more or hold a conversation. Sometimes when Keith is in bed I just sit and cry.

Just speaking to other people in the group has been wonderful. The more you hold it in, the worse it is.

After 25 years together, Kim and Keith got married in June at St Mary’s Church in Weaverham surrounded by their family and friends. Kim said: “It was a beautiful day, I just wish I could do it over and over again.

This isn’t the life we thought we would have in our retirement, but we are learning to make the best of each day.”

Ann's story

O

n New Year’s Eve – when so many of us look forward to what the coming year will bring – Ann Harrison was given the devastating news that her cancer had returned.

The Nannie-of-seven from Winsford, who had undergone treatment for breast cancer in 2017 at the age of 55, said: “I just thought I had a bad chest infection but on New Year’s Eve I was told they had found three nodules in my lungs so they’ve said it is terminal and I’ve got one to three years.

“With it being New Year’s Eve there was nobody to speak to, I had just been told this awful news and there was no one to help. I was already having counselling at St Luke’s so on January 2nd I called my counsellor and she told me to come in to the Hospice which was a godsend because I just needed somebody to talk to.”

Ann has accessed a range of services through St Luke’s Day Hospice including our nurse-led complementary therapy clinics and most recently the Relaxation Plus Group. Her husband and son are also having counselling.

Precious family time: Ann (front left) with her husband, three sons and their families

“I’d be lost without St Luke’s. They not only helped me to relax, but being able to talk and share my worries has helped to reduce my stress. They have helped me to cope and carry on. I know it sounds silly that something like Reflexology would keep you going, but it does.

“I’m taking each day as it comes, but my Counsellor is getting me to push my mindset beyond three years and to think of the future. So we’ve booked a cruise for Christmas 2020 and this October half term we’ve booked a cottage break with our three sons and their families, which will be nice for them to remember.

St Luke’s is supporting my whole family, I don’t know how we’d cope without them.

Daley's story

M

argaret Ferris’s worst fear was that her son Daley would die alone. 38-year-old Daley had end stage liver failure after battling an alcohol addiction for more than two decades – and he was homeless.

At St Luke’s we believe everyone in our community should have equal access to palliative and end of life care. Daley was referred to our Homelessness Project Team by staff at the hostel where he was staying.

Daley didn’t trust easily, but over time he and his St Luke’s case worker Alison developed a respectful relationship. Daley died at the Hospice in April, in a place he felt safe, and with his Mum by his side. Here is Daley’s story, told by his Mum Margaret: “Two weeks before he passed away, Alison from St Luke's and a Macmillan nurse went to visit him where he was staying in Crewe. They could see he wasn’t coping very well and he had lost loads and loads of weight. He asked them how long he had and they said about three weeks. He had a little cry and Alison gave him a hug and he said ‘you’d better phone me Mum.’ “Alison was like a lifeline for me. I used to talk with Daley every day on the phone, and if he didn’t answer I used to panic.

I’d ring Alison and she would check on him for me. It was like a weight had been lifted. I did feel guilty because I should

have had him at home with me, but I couldn’t have looked after him and he wouldn’t have let me help him.

“I was so worried that St Luke’s wouldn’t have space for him when the time came.

I had a big fear of him passing away on his own in his sleep, I just wanted somebody with him. I knew as soon as he got to St Luke’s that everything would be ok. I used to ring up all the time and the nurses would chat to me for ages. I used to worry that I was a nuisance by calling but they said that I could call anytime, even in the middle of the night and a nurse would always be there to talk.

“On Easter Monday the nurses called me to say that he was very poorly. Alison stayed with him until either me or his Dad could get there. The drive was awful, I just couldn’t get there quick enough.

They were all absolutely brilliant, they couldn’t do enough for us. His brother came from Newcastle and they gave us a couple of visitor rooms where we could get our head down if we wanted.

It was so dignified and they treated Daley like a person.

I think that was why he liked it there because they treated him so well, they didn’t look at his lifestyle or judge him for that. It made those last few days special.

We wouldn’t have been able to spend that time with him in the hospital. It was like being at home with him. It was dignified, it was quiet and they kept him calm. I’m just so glad he got that care. In the end I could actually do things for him as his Mum, it just felt natural.

“In the early hours of Friday 26th April his Dad sat with him while I had a little sleep. There was no change in him so his Dad then went for a rest and I was on my own with Daley. I said ‘I’m back’ and less than a minute later he just stopped breathing, and it was just me and him. I believe that he knew I was there and he waited for me to come back in the room.

“Daley was very privileged to die at St Luke’s. He knew that. He couldn’t have got anything better.”

Donations enable us to care for people like Daley and his family. If you would like to support us, 9 there are lots of ways you can help. Visit www.slhospice.co.uk to find out more.

Serving our community

Y

ou are amazing - and nowhere is this more evident than in our charity shops!

Since our first shop opened in Middlewich in August 1989, you have returned again and again to pick up bargains, spend your money and drop off donations – all with the combined aim of raising as much money as possible to help us care for patients and their families at the Hospice.

Our shops are hubs at the heart of the communities we serve. Thanks to you they continue to grow in number and popularity and we are delighted to announce the opening of our brand new shop in Market Street in Crewe this Autumn!

Do you know Each of our shops need around 200 bags of donated goods every week to keep up with demand, and one bag of your pre-loved items is worth an average of £19 to St Luke's!

1010

Sorting through donations, pricing them up and stocking the shelves is a massive operation which wouldn’t be possible without the help of more than 340 volunteers who support our shops.

Furniture and Fashion (Winsford) | Winsford | Furniture Warehouse (Winsford) One of those volunteers is Marian Bray who helps one afternoon a week in our Hartford shop. The former teaching assistant was on the point of retiring in 2012 when she discovered she had breast cancer.

Marian was supported through her treatment and recovery by our Day Hospice, and decided then that she wanted to help St Luke’s in the future. She explained: “St Luke’s was there for me at such a difficult time in my life. The nurses were brilliant and it made me want to give something back, not just for the care that I had received but for what other people I know have received.

“I initially thought I would try to volunteer the same amount of hours as the care I had received, but to be honest there’s no amount of hours that can pay that back, so I just thought I’d do as many as I can, for as long as I can.

"I just love it. I feel as if I am needed which is really important to me after retiring and I’ve made so many friends.

"All the volunteers are brilliant, we have a good natter, we are all there for each other and we’re making a difference for St Luke’s.”

Please keep making a difference to St Luke’s by supporting our shops – whether you donate, shop or volunteer. We can’t do it without you!

A lasting legacy F

or most of us, when we look back on our lives we want to know that we’ve made a difference in some way. We want to know that we’ve made an impression on others and that what we’ve achieved in life is not forgotten when we’re no longer around.

What happens to our money, and the things that are most precious to us when we’re gone, should not be left to chance. That’s why writing a Will is so important.

Of course, making sure our loved ones are provided for will be at the top of our list, but if St Luke’s is one of the causes close to your heart, and if you’re able, please remember us in your Will too.

decreasing in value over time, you can either index link your gift or review it periodically to retain its original value.

Legacy in Kind Leaving us property, shares, home contents, jewellery, furniture or any item your family does not need is especially welcome. Our hospice shops will ensure your gift benefits St Luke’s in some way.

We rely on the kindness and generosity of our supporters to enable us to offer all the care and comfort patients and their families need following the diagnosis of a life limiting illness.

There are three main ways you can remember St Luke’s in your Will: The ‘Family and Friends First’ Legacy At St Luke’s, we understand that caring for your family is a priority. After making provision for your family and friends, you can leave whatever is left in your estate – the residue – to St Luke’s alone or with other charities.

Louise and Kate's story

L

ouise and Kate have so much in common – they love going to the cinema together or going shopping, and they share the same tastes in music. What an onlooker would never guess is that Louise is actually a volunteer Befriender with St Luke’s and is giving up her time each week to support Kate following her treatment for cancer.

56-year-old Kate Walters, who lives in Northwich with her husband and youngest son, was diagnosed with lymphoma in her brain in January 2017 and spent four months in hospital undergoing treatment.

Upon her return home she started attending St Luke’s Day Hospice for emotional support and practical advice. The nurses in Day Hospice also put her in touch with our Befriending Service.

Kate said: “I can no longer drive and I don’t feel confident going out on my own without my husband so a Befriender seemed like a good idea. I was just so lucky to get Louise, she’s amazing, and it turned out we had already met each other a couple of times previously.”

Louise explained: “I had also been poorly and had gone on the Fitstart

programme at Brio Leisure through St Luke’s to help with my recovery.

Kate was on the same course and so we’d chatted and I had given her a lift back to the Hospice a couple of times. We had also bumped into each other at a brain tumour support group.

“It was months later that I saw the appeal for Befriending volunteers at St Luke’s on Facebook. I haven’t been able to return to work but I’m feeling relatively well and want to fill my days so I thought it would be good to volunteer.

is our love of going to the cinema, but we also have an understanding of what each other has been through and share some of the same feelings.

I feel like I’m there for Kate on a practical level because she’s not able to drive, but it’s also nice to just spend time together.”

“I didn’t realise how much St Luke’s do in the community until I had experience of them personally, and I wanted to give something back as the Hospice had helped me so much when I was poorly. So I had an interview and they said it might take a while to match me with someone, but then they called quite quickly and suggested Kate and I couldn’t believe that I already knew her. It was just perfect.”

I find it really rewarding to know that I am helping someone else and it gives Kate an option to be able to do things independently.

I feel very proud when I tell people what I do for St Luke’s.

45-year-old Louise, who lives in Davenham, now visits Kate’s house every Tuesday morning. They go to the cinema in Northwich most weeks or go shopping together.

Kate said: “It’s something to look forward to every Tuesday and means I can go out. My husband is retired so it gives him a chance to have some time to himself.”

Louise added: “We have a number of things in common, one of which If you are interested in becoming a Befriender please visit our website www.slhospice.co.uk or 15 call Catherine Holligan on 07496 073430.

Community matters The Winsford Wheelers completed an incredible 150 mile Cycle Challenge from Winsford to Llandudno and back again, raising over £3,000 for St Luke's. A team of around 30 cyclists set off from the Hospice at 6am. Adverse weather caused over 10 punctures and an unfortunate crash, but after a long 8 hours in the saddle all arrived back in Winsford in time for a BBQ at the Old Star - a chance to refuel and relax!

Organiser Karl Woodward said: "So many people are touched by the work of the Hospice and we just wanted to give something back."

Brave Megan Littler did something a little different for St Luke's by competing in the CRN Fight Night, White Collar Boxing Match...and won! She raised a whopping £3,880.99 for her efforts.

Dairy Queens Becky Holman, Hannah Goodwin and Martha Gilman have raised over £9,000 during 2018/19 with their fundraising efforts - finally challenging themselves further by completing the National Three Peaks in 24 hours!

Alex Kettlewell and friends from the Vintage Tractor Club raised over £400 for St Luke's at their Vintage Tractor Road Run through the beautiful Cheshire countryside. Alex, Phil, Jennie and Jack came down to St Luke's on their beloved vintage tractors to hand over the money!

There are so many ways to fundraise for St Luke's - here are just some of the amazing people making a difference.

Fifteen year old Katie Everett from Brine Leas School decided to organise a fundraising garden party to fulfil the volunteering section of her Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. Katie went with an Alice in Wonderland theme, with a Mad Hatter's craft tent, the Queen of Hearts croquet, the Cheshire Cat's Lucky Dip and even an 'Off with their Heads' coconut shy! "I'm so happy to have raised £1,120 for St Luke's. It's such a worthwhile cause and some people who came told me how special St Luke's is to them."

Winsford mum Abi Caulfield raised a phenomenal £1,103 for the Hospice from her 'Care for a Cuppa' event, a coffee and cake afternoon in the heart of the community.

Local businesses donated raffle prizes and Fancy Feet Theatrical Dance performed. Abi said: "It was beyond amazing, the support we had was out of this world and I couldn't have done it without my friends and family around me."

Claire Riddleston took on the Snowdonia Half Marathon in memory of her dad, Steve - raising £2,100. "The nurses and staff at St Luke's went over and above to provide what relief and respite that they could for my father. They gave him outstanding care and compassion in his final days, as well as a phenomenal amount of support to my family and I."

Dynamic trio Viv, Sue and Angie helped sort, price and display all items at our recent Arts and Crafts sale, manning the stall all day and helping to raise £728 made from it. They give up such a lot of time and are already making plans for Christmas sales!
