O
ur 35th Anniversary year was a
great success, and nowhere more
so than in the media where we
have enjoyed significant exposure and
fantastic support from many different
outlets including the BBC, ITV and the
Bristol Post. We will now be working
hard to capitalise on this, as it is a vital
part of communicating what we do to all
parts of the community and thus
improving our accessibility.
As I write this, the ground is being prepared
for the new garden room at Brentry, an
exciting development funded by a grant from
the Department of Health. This project serves
as a physical symbol of the progress we are
making. It is principally designed to benefit
the numerous patients, carers and families
who use the therapeutic services of the
Psycho Social Spiritual (PSS) Team. This new
building will provide a much better
environment for the PSS team to work in and
will in turn free up space elsewhere. Thus
overall it will enable us to increase access to
our services. But I hope it will also be used
much more widely, and possibly allow us to
engage more with other community groups.
The building itself is being created by local
tradesmen, craftsmen and professionals. Of
note is Westwind Oak who crafted the
timber frame; they overcame scheduling
difficulties to ensure they made the frame
in their local workshops because they
wanted to forge the local link with what
they see as an important project. It
transpired when I went to see them that
one of their craftsmen had been visiting a
relative in St Peter’s only days before,
indicative of the extent to which St Peter’s
touches so many people.
So this is a building built by the community
for the community. l
How we are funded
We are a local charity and all of our care is
provided free of charge, but it costs us
around £18,000 a day to provide that care.

Last year, Gemma Rosenthal and her team,
Horts Hunnies, took part in the Midnight
Walk. As well as their fab pink t-shirts they
wore moustaches and blue hairnets in
memory of their Dad, Tony Horton, who
was well known for his black moustache
and wore a hairnet everyday at work.
“We did the Midnight Walk to show our
thanks to all who work at St Peter’s
Hospice. The job they do is fantastic! The
care Dad received in the Inpatient Unit was
second to none”.
“So go on girls… Dig out your hats, pink wigs
or even moustaches and show your support
for St Peter’s Hospice!” l

legacies
Leave a Gift in your Will today…
make a difference tomorrow
W
e rely so much on the
fantastic generosity of people
leaving us gifts in their Wills.
Each year, we receive nearly a quarter
of all of our income in this way. It’s a
great way to support the Hospice in the
future especially if you are unable to
make a donation now.
Of course, we want everyone to look after
family and loved ones first – but it may be
possible to consider a gift to the Hospice,
too. Many people don’t realise that the
majority of their estate (their worth) can be
left to their family with a small minority left
to the Hospice. For example, you could leave
99% to your family and 1% to the Hospice.
Over the past year or so, we have received
wonderful gifts left to us in Wills. Many are
for set amounts of £1,000, £5,000 or
£10,000 whilst some are a percentage of
the estate 15% or 25% – and sometimes
even 100%.
One gentleman left us his miniature train
collection which has been auctioned and
raised £20,000 for the Hospice. Another
supporter left us her car along with a cash
sum and one lady kindly left us her house
and all the contents.
Through these and other generous gifts, we
will raise more than £1.5 million this year –
enough to run the whole Hospice for nearly
three months.
If you would like to talk to someone about
leaving a gift to the Hospice in your Will
please phone Jo Gibbons 01275 391406. l
We have received a variety of Gifts in Wills
including a miniature train set.

St Peter’s Hospice – For Patients, Families and Bristol. stpetershospice.org
FOCUS ON
Dave Smith,
Spiritual Care Coordinator
I
t’s an honour to be part of people’s
lives at such a crucial time,”
says Dave Smith, Spiritual Care
Coordinator. “End of life is often a time
to explore faith issues. It can be
daunting and confusing so I see my
role as helping people through this.”
“
With a background in social work, Dave
joined the Hospice last year in the newly
created role which is part of the Hospice’s
Psycho Social Spiritual team. He is licensed
as a lay minister in the Church of England
although he sees the role of Spiritual Care
Coordinator as broadening out the spiritual
work of the Hospice to develop a more
multi-faith approach.
It is a varied role that can involve saying
morning prayers with patients in the Day
Hospice, sitting with patients or families in
Inpatient Unit or saying prayers for the
dying. Dave may be asked to conduct
occasional funerals and he helped lead our
Light Up a Life services at Christmas.
“You meet every variation in people’s
response to faith. Some people run to faith,
seeking comfort in it, whilst others run
away. Spiritual care is for both extremes
and everything in between.”
Dave is keen to take a human,
compassionate and practical approach to
his work.
“Many patients and families I meet simply
need comfort, time and space. I’m definitely
not here to evangelise; instead, I try to
sense where people are on their spiritual
journey and meet them there.”
»
Dave leading the Light Up a Life service at the Hospice
in December.
As well as providing support for patients
and their loved ones, Dave also offers a
listening ear to Hospice staff.
“There is a lot of laughter at the Hospice,
but it’s also a place where people feel at
ease about talking on a deeper level. I’ve
had many meaningful conversations that
have lasted only a few minutes,” he says.
Looking to the future, Dave would like to
build better links with other faith groups
and to increase the number of volunteers
involved in spiritual care. He would also like
to develop the use of the Sanctuary at
Brentry as a sacred and reflective space.
“I hope and pray that the
spiritual life of the Hospice will
grow and for it never to lose its
human touch.” l

shop news
Alex Lovell and the Pill shop team.
Our 47th shop opens
its doors
We were delighted to open a brand
new shop in Pill in October.
C
rowds of people braved wet and windy
weather to see BBC Points West presenter,
Alex Lovell, cut the ribbon to officially open
our 47th shop on Monday 21 October. Alex stayed
on afterwards to chat to local people and staff, and
to check out some of the fabulous items on sale.
The shop in Pill serves the North Somerset villages of
Lodway, Ham Green, Easton-in-Gordano and Portbury
and is run by Shop Manager, Becky, Assistant Manager,
Emma, and a great new team of volunteers. They have
been heartened by the great response they’ve had from
the local community.
“We’re in a row of shops in the centre of Pill and people
pop in regularly to check out our latest range of fashions,
accessories and gifts,” said Becky. “Our dedicated Kids
area, with toys, books and clothing, is proving particularly
popular with young families.”

Book month
To celebrate World Book Day
on 6 March, our shops will be
holding a Book Promotion
month in March. We’ll have
some great special offers and
discounts on a wide range of
fiction and non-fiction books
in all our stores throughout
the month. Why not pop in
and have a browse?
It costs £18,000 a day to run the Hospice. For most of this money we rely on …
G
ift Aid is a fantastic and easy way
to make your donations go
further. For every £1 raised from
gifts donated we can raise an extra 25p
– at no cost to you.
If you are a UK taxpayer, all you need to do
is sign up in one of our shops then let us
know when you pop in with donated goods.
As we go to print, the total Gift Aid generated
through shops sales this financial year to date
is a fantastic £312,000 which is £10,000 more
than this time last year. Based on this we’re
expecting the total at the end of the financial
year to reach between £440,000 and
£450,000 – that’s enough to cover around
nine months of Hospice at Home care.
Help us create our
Spring/Summer
fashion collection
Giving your wardrobe a Spring
Clean? Planning to buy some new
summer clothes? Then please
remember to donate your old
clothes to St Peter’s Hospice. We
need good quality items of
clothing, particularly spring and
summer fashion. Bring your
donations to one of our shops or
pop them in one of our clothing
banks. If you have five large bags
or more and you’re unable to take
them to your nearest shop, we can
collect from your home – see
www.stpetershospice.org or call
0800 583 0015 for details.

patient story
Bob Danaher makes a
tribute to his wife
Maggie
M
y wife Maggie was diagnosed with brain and
lung cancer in late 2011, after we’d returned
from a cruise to Israel. It was such a terrible
shock for us both. Maggie was such a fun person, full
of life; she was always organising nights out for her
friends, and had a keen eye for interior design and a
love of travel.
As well as starting a course of chemotherapy
at Southmead, we started having visits from
one of the St Peter’s Hospice Community
Nurse Specialists. She was wonderful and
really helped us to deal with and understand
the situation.
Maggie attended a 12-week course at the Day
Hospice in April 2012 to help her manage the
symptoms of her illness. True to form, one day
she decided to liven things up by organising a
conga around the Hospice reception!
Over the next year, Maggie’s health
deteriorated and she went into the Inpatient
Unit in March 2013. Despite our expectations,
the environment at the Hospice gave us both
a lift and Maggie felt very at home there. Our
beloved dog, Seren, was allowed to visit and
sit in Maggie’s lap as she went around the
Hospice in her wheelchair.
Maggie died peacefully at the Hospice on
14 April 2013. The care she had received was
tremendous and the nurses seemed to have
so much time for her. I really wanted to give
something back so I got in touch with the
Fundraising Team at the Hospice who
suggested that I set up a Tribute Fund in
Maggie’s name. Every time one of her friends

or family does any fundraising, we tell St
Peter’s Hospice that it’s in memory of Maggie
and the money raised goes into her fund. So
far, we’ve raised £5,400 through all sorts of
activities and people are very forthcoming
when we mention St Peter’s Hospice. For
example, two friends raised almost £600 by
doing The Midnight Walk last year, Maggie’s
hairdresser is donating all her tips and I’ve
raised money through table top sales and my
football refereeing. Her friends are planning to
do The Midnight Walk again this year and I’ve
decided to help marshal the event. It would
be fantastic to reach £6,000 or more for such
a great cause – but we’ll just see how it goes.
We all miss Maggie so much but the Tribute
Fund has given us a focus and is a great way
to keep Maggie’s memory alive. l
Tribute Funds are a positive
and simple way for family,
friends and colleagues to
remember a loved one by raising money for
St Peter’s Hospice in their name. You can now
set up a Tribute Fund online in four simple steps

New Garden
Room takes
shape
In 2013, we welcomed many visitors who
came to find out more about the work
we do – including some famous faces…
V
isitors to the
Hospice in the last
few months will
have seen exciting
developments taking
place with the
construction of the new
oak-framed Garden Room.
Clockwise: Mayor George Ferguson, BBC Points West presenter Alex
Lovell, Actress Fiona Wade (with Head of Supporter Relations, John
Flanagan), and Actor Anthony Head and his wife Sarah Fisher.
Situated in the Hospice
gardens, the building has
been made by South West
company, Westwind Oak,
using 16-tonnes of
handcrafted oak, 150 oak
beams and 500 oak pegs.
In December, Knitivity not only became our best-selling Christmas
card ever but it also hit the big time with appearances on BBC’s The
One Show, and in Hello magazine, The Sun and The Daily Mail. The
life-sized knitted nativity scene was created by the Knutty Knitters in
memory of their friend Christine Walsh, who died at the Hospice in
December 2011.
When it has been
completed in March, the
Garden Room will be home
to the Psycho Social
Spiritual team and will
provide a relaxing space for
patients to enjoy. l

e’d like to say a massive thank
you to Knowle Golf Club whose
members raised an amazing
£18,000 for the Hospice last year.
Captain and Lady Captain, Jeff and Jean Way,
worked tirelessly to put on a range of events
which members generously supported. These
included a Summer Ball, two Charity Golf Days
and three Sportman’s Dinners with the likes of
Stuart Pearce, Mark Regan and Gary Mabbutt.
“St Peter’s Hospice is a tremendous
local charity and many members
and their families have benefited
from the exceptional care and
support they provide,” said Ryan

club. “I know it is a charity very
close to Jeff and Jean’s hearts.”

Big Yellow
Storage
We’re very grateful to Big Yellow
Storage which has donated a 200
square foot storage space at their
Winterstoke Road site.
CLUB
W
e’ve had some fantastic support
from local businesses for our St Peter’s
Hospice 100 Club, with over 50
companies joining in 2013.
The Club was formed to enable businesses in the Bristol community
to join together and collectively raise £100,000 for patient care.
One of the main reasons for moving
our fundraising office last summer
was to save money but this means
that our new site is very tight on
space. The storage space at Big
Yellow is fantastic because we can
use it to store the fundraising
materials that we only need at
certain times of the year. It has also
provided a new home for our much
loved Lenny the Hospice Bear.
We have been thrilled with the diverse and innovative ways that
100 Club members have sought to raise funds for us. Many have
focused their fundraising on their business expertise – here are a
few examples:
l Arch House Deli in Clifton is holding Cheese and Wine Evenings
with £10 of the ticket price being donated to St Peter’s Hospice.
(Bookings can be for groups of 14 – 20 people, please mention
St Peter’s Hospice at the time of booking).
l Try4 Fun, an adventure and corporate activity company based in
Portishead, is running sponsored cliff abseiling to help raise
funds for the Hospice (St Peter’s Hospice must be mentioned
when booking).
l Cossey Produce is donating £1 for every fruit and vegetable box
ordered using the SPH code (please contact us for more details).
l Four teams from ITEC took part in the September 2013 Dragon
Boat Race and raised over £8,000.
We’re still working hard to reach our target of 100 members so if you
work for or own a local business, please do get in touch – we’d love to
discuss ways of working together. We also hope to run some
networking events in the future so that members can meet each other.

Lee Smith, Manager of Big Yellow
says, “We’re always happy to try
and support a local cause and we
know how much St Peter’s Hospice
means to the people of Bristol. We
hope that we can save them money
so that more funds go directly to
patient care.”

fundraising groups news
Severnside Group
We are delighted to have raised £7,000 for the Hospice since the
beginning of April last year. We had a successful summer with Tea @ 3,
our annual garden party at Heneage Court, plus collections at Tesco,
Wyevale Garden Centre and Almondsbury Garden Centre.
As always, the Golf Day was well attended and much enjoyed by all, as
were the coffee mornings at Olveston and Alveston.
The Christmas Bazaar.
We’d like to thank the people of the Severnside area for their loyal support
of St Peter’s Hospice - without it, none of the events would be possible!
Christmas
Bazaar
Over 1,000 people joined us to
celebrate the 34th St Peter’s Hospice
Christmas Bazaar at the Council
House/City Hall. Simon, our Chief
Executive, opened the bazaar and
we took just under £11,000 in total
which is truly magnificent. A big
thank you to everyone involved!
Special thanks go to all the stall
holders and their friends who
worked so hard throughout the
year to make items for sale! Once
again we were able to celebrate a
wonderful event that raised lots of
money towards the Hospice’s work
in the community.
Heneage Court Garden Party.
Chew Valley Group
The Chew Valley Group has been busy throughout the Autumn and Winter.
The Blue Moon theatre group kindly invited us to run a raffle at its production in September, which raised over
£400 in total. Our bric-a-brac stall at the Bazaar in November was a great success and contributed over £500 to
Hospice funds.
In early December, Mendip Voices presented a selection of light-hearted Christmas music at a concert at
St Andrew’s Church, Chew Magna, where mulled wine and mince pies were served. Earlier this year, the annual
Bridge Lunch took place in Compton Martin Village Hall on 17 January.
We’d like to thank everyone who has given their support throughout 2013 - we are most grateful to you all.

The Annual Craft Fair also in Chipping Sodbury Town Hall in October was a
great success with all tables being sold to local crafters. We’d like to say
thank you to all our volunteers who helped serve refreshments and donated
cakes on the day. Thanks also to the Sodbury Towns Lands Trust for their
assistance with rent for the venue. Overall we made a profit of £730.

Local Lotto success
W
hen Local Lotto launched on 28 August 2009 we
had just over 1,400 members. Now four and a
half years later we have 5,000 people playing
each week. After costs and prizes, the Local Lotto is raising
an amazing profit of over £13,000 per month. This is all
thanks to you!
I’m now leaving the Hospice to move to Scotland but I’ll still be
keeping a close eye on the Local Lotto in 2014. I can’t wait to
see it reach 6,000 members!
Why don’t you sign up? It’s a great way to
support a fabulous cause and have a weekly
chance to win £1,000 at the same time.

Christmas Raffle
We received the best response ever to our
Christmas Raffle in December – with
almost £60,000 raised through ticket sales.
LIzzie Cornell from Patchway won the first
prize of £5,000. She said, “This couldn’t
come at a better time of year. I’m going to
use the money to treat my family and then
go on holiday, possibly to Brazil for my 30th birthday”.
Many thanks to everyone who bought tickets or sold them on our behalf. We’re
especially grateful to Richard Meyer who wrote about his daughter’s experiences
at the Hospice in the letter that went out with raffle tickets – we know it inspired
many people to take part.
