An appeal is going out from Bristol’s St Peter’s Hospice for volunteers across the city to ‘lend a hand’ to help raise thousands of pounds towards its vital work.

Every year the Hospice carries out House to House and street collections across Bristol, South Glos and North Somerset which raises much needed funds, but the number of people volunteering to collect the money has dropped over recent years.

TV star Alex Lovell is teaming up with Bristol’s St Peter’s Hospice to urge women in the city to get into gear!

The hospice is holding its driving challenge called “Girls in Gear” on Sunday 8th June 2008 at Hullavington Airfield to raise vital funds for its specialist care. Teams of 4 women will be given the chance to get behind the wheel of fire engines, JCBs, cranes, tractors and even police cars.

Support our appeal to expand our Hospice at Home service

Bristol’s St Peter’s Hospice is launching an appeal to raise £100,000 to expand its Hospice at Home Service.

The service, which provides 24 hour nursing support for terminally ill people in their homes in the last days of their lives, is facing increasing demand. St Peter’s hopes to raise the money to recruit three new nurses and provide Hospice at Home care to more patients than ever before.

The appeal comes as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. Click below to find out how you can help!

A group of friends from Horfield have spent the past 5 years committed to raising funds for St.Peter’s Hospice by selling other peoples’ unwanted objects at local car boot sales and have raised over £25,000. 

Anna & Eraldo Fava and Cecilia & Guilio Di Gesse are all in their 70’s and have been friends for 50 years.  Every Sunday Anna & Eraldo get up at 5.00am and load their car with all the things that Cecilia and Guilio have collected and stored in their garage and then head off to UWE or Whitchurch for a hard day selling.
