St Luke’s Hospice
Kenton Grange,
Kenton Road, Harrow , Middlesex
HA3 0YG
Registered Charity No. 298555
Many local
organisations, clubs and
families are supporting
our Summer Appeal
campaign and we have
planted a beautiful
daisy at the hospice in
recognition of their
support. The funds raised will help fund our Single Point of Access service
which gives people a single number they can call 24 hours a day for end of
life care advice and support. Our rapid response team can also give
emergency care at home. Over 100 daisies have been planted at the hospice
so far. Donate at www.stlukes-hospice.org/appeal2016

23 teams of budding golfers played 18 holes of golf on the stunning 'high
course' at Moor Park Golf Club on Monday 4 July. Competition was close but
the Gold Sections home team managed to get in 1st place, followed by Team
Abbotts in 2nd, and The Terriers in 3rd place. Over 100 people also joined the
delicious celebratory dinner on the night.
Over £12,000 was raised and we would like to give special thanks to Moor
Park Golf Club and their members and the volunteers from Barclays for their
support of the event.
Summer Proms raise over £13,000!
Our Summer Proms Series took place over the
course of July and hundreds of spectators enjoyed
breathtaking concerts ranging from the traditional
proms celebration, to jazz, opera, the BBC Elstree
Concert Band and the world renowned, Leonore
Piano Trio.
Concert goer, Robert attended one concert and
says, ‘This event was a treat from start to finish.
Guests were greeted and directed to their seats by
dedicated and attentive St Luke’s Hospice volunteers. The music was performed to an amazingly high
standard. Those fortunate to attend were given an evening to remember.’

item or experience you could donate to help raise vital
funds for hospice care? You could give a famous signed
photograph, a holiday home for a weekend, a private tour
of a football stadium, a dining experience cooked by a
Michelin star chef and much more.
