ON behalf of St Richard’s Hospice I would like to thank everyone in Worcestershire who has supported us during 2012, whether through donations of time, money or enjoying our events.

Your support has been magnificent and ensures St Richard’s – an independent charity offering free care, comfort and compassion to 2,300 patients and family members each year – can continue providing our wide range of services to the people of Worcestershire.

We wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and new year.

JOHN BAWDEN

Chairman of Governors St Richard’s Hospice
