Lucy’s Fundraiser for Blythe House Hospice
Posted in Classified adverts, Events, Health Care, People on Tuesday September 16, 2025| Leave a Comment »
I’m taking part in the Chatsworth 10k to help raise money for this amazing charity. Please take a minute to read about their work:
Blythe House Hospice offers counselling and bereavement support for any child aged from 4 to 18 years old whose loved one has died or who is living with a life-limiting illness. They also support patients, families and carers living across Derbyshire.
In addition to that they provide high quality 24/7 end of life care at home, offering patients at all stages of illness, family members and carers counselling; physio, occupational therapy, group support, specialist palliative clinics and nursing services.
Blythe House has, and still is providing support for us and so many other families who have suffered the loss of a parent or loved one. The guidance and support we’ve received has been the light at the end of the tunnel, they are a cup of tea when you really need one, they are a peaceful space to access invaluable help and advice from experienced counsellors.
Please donate what you can to help this amazing charity to continue to support children and families.

Thank you to everyone who came to support us on Sunday. The church was full of flowers and looked incredible! We had lots of visitors, even though the weather could have been a little kinder. Tea and cakes were enjoyed, and the day went very well.
The flowers are in church until Saturday morning of this week.
