The new Centre will provide the right support for patients and families, helping them in a positive life affirming way. In my experience, centres such as these help patients not to fear death, and this is so important.

I look forward to hearing about the progress of the appeal with great interest".

We are very pleased at the same time to have a number of local dignitaries, health workers and business people as our patrons who are forwarding the cause of our appeal.
