Sue Ryder
Please help Sue Ryder provide palliative care and bereavement support for more people. We chose this charity after one of our dancers told us how Reading's Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent Hospice made the time her husband had left so much easier and helped their family in their grief.

People don’t realise that hospices are such positive places," said our dancer.
"My husband was initially most dubious about visiting as an in-patient. But it was the most uplifting, understanding and helpful environment we had experienced on a long journey to a diagnosis.
"Not only did the team understand and enhance his physical condition by balancing medicines, but they encouraged his interest in daily life. He enjoyed banter with friendly staff, the adjustable armchairs, wheeled tables for his hobbies, easy visits from friends who brought board games and dogs. It gave him the confidence to return when necessary, knowing the hospice team would care for his needs and support us all as a family. Going back almost felt like coming home.”
