Last year, Tim Morgan raised nearly £3000 last year through a sponsored swim so we’re delighted that he is swimming again in aid of Hospice Ethiopia and this time in shark infested waters…(a lake in Suffolk)!

Please donate generously.
As many of you will be aware, last year the Diocese of Norwich’s Lent Appeal raised a staggering £40,000 to buy a car for Hospice Ethiopia. Due to various difficulties with importing the car, the purchase took longer than expected but it has finally arrived at Hospice Ethiopia in Addis Ababa!
The car will make a massive difference to the staff and patients of Hospice Ethiopia, allowing more people to receive vital palliative care in their own homes. The total amount the diocese raised was £44,724, so we have enough money for 4 years running costs too.
Thank you to everyone who donated so generously to the Lent Appeal.

Sue and Jamie had an amazing turnout for their presentation last weekend in Dorchester, and raised £900 for Hospice Ethiopia.
We’ve just had the quarterly report (for October-December 2017) from Hospice Ethiopia director, Ephrem. We were thrilled to read that following a visit to HE towards the end of last year, Ethiopiaid (based in Bath, UK) has given them £28,600! More about Ethiopiaid can be found on their website: http://ethiopiaid.org.uk/
Ephrem has been awarded a bursary and confirmed that he will come to the UK (visa permitting) for a leadership management course at the St Christopher’s Hospice from 15th-19th October. We are also hoping to arrange a clinical placement at Priscilla Bacon Lodge, Norwich for the week preceding the course Oct 6th-14th.
Happy Christmas and many thanks to all of our supporters from the team at Hospice Ethiopia UK.
With good wishes for 2018,
Sue Mumford

This report details the clinical visits made, meetings held, and teaching carried out during the visit to Addis Ababa. These were conducted on behalf of Hospice Ethiopia UK (HE UK), a UK registered charity.
The visit was planned and carried out by Sue Mumford (SM; Community Specialist Palliative Care Nurse and Chair of Hospice Ethiopia UK) and Dr James Mumford (JM; General Practitioner and & Trustee of HE UK) who funded themselves. The overall aims of the trip were accomplished.
