Continued Support for St David's Hospice Care
Basepoint Chepstow are pleased to announce that we have, for the third year running, chosen St David’s Hospice Care as the charity we are going to support in 2016/17.
Basepoint is owned by The ACT Foundation, a leading grant making charity dedicated to improving the quality of life of those in need. As such, each centre is dedicated to fundraising for a selected charity and The ACT Foundation match funds money raised by the chosen charity. The ACT Foundation have donated £20,000 in match funding to Chepstow’s chosen charity, St David’s Hospice Care, over the past 2 years and hope to donate another £10,000 over the next 12 months.
Last year St David’s Hospice Care cared for over 3,200 patients facing a life-limiting illness and supported their families and carers. At any one time their nurses are caring for over 1,100 patients. The cost of providing this service, which is free-of-charge to patients and their families, is over £7.5 million per annum. They would not be able to maintain these vital services without the help and support of local people and the business community.
Tina Colegate, Centre Manager at Basepoint Chepstow, said “We are delighted to be able to offer our continued support St David’s Hospice care and are really looking forward to another 12 months of fund raising with the team at St David’s”.
