Tim & John do the Swimathon

Congratulations to Tim and John Morgan who have raised a massive £2765 (as of the 16th April 2017) for Hospice Ethiopia!

This is extra impressive given that the pool turned on the wave machine half way through…

Many thanks to those of you who have been so generous – this money will make a huge difference in Ethiopia. Just to give a rough idea, the amount raised is sufficient to fund the salary of a senior nurse for a year.

Donations accepted until 7.7.2017 so please donate if you haven’t already!

Spring 2017 Update Talk

Come and hear about the extraordinary work that your help is funding.

An illustrated talk by Sue Mumford (palliative care nurse) and Dr Jamie Mumford (GP).

Monday 8th May, 5.30 for 6.00pm
Priscilla Bacon Lodge, Colman Hospital,
Unthank Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 2PJ

It’s not just about direct action: even more important is the training of doctors, nurses and medics in palliative care (care for the dying), a specialty that is little understood and not yet taught in medical schools in Ethiopia.

Sue and Jamie will also talk about their trip to Hospice Africa in Uganda, the flagship hospice for sub-Saharan palliative care, where they stayed with the Nobel Prize nominee Professor Anne Merriman.

Entry is free but, of course, we hope you will be able to give us a donation.

There will be teas, cakes and a raffle.

More information: Sue and Jamie Mumford (01263 768699) or Wendy Smith at Priscilla Bacon Lodge (01603 255720) or email susan.mumford@hotmail.co.uk
