"The time is now."

A skydive has been on Dorothy's bucket list for years. It's something she's always wanted to do, but never quite got around to.

Now she's taking the leap! 🪂

"I feel nervous, anxious...but also excited," Dorothy says.

Despite her nerves, Dorothy has signed up to skydive in support of the hospice she knows so well, helping to raise vital funds for local families facing incurable illnesses.

As a hospice nurse, Dorothy sees first-hand the difference hospice care makes.

"At St Clare, we don't just look after the patient, we look after the family too - physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.

"There are so many memorable patients and families, but one couple stands out. They were so devoted to one another. They'd been childhood sweethearts and were married for over 70 years. They were kissing and cuddling right up to the end," Dorothy shares.

Originally hoping to raise £500, Dorothy has already smashed her target, raising more than £1,500 thanks to the support of her family, friends and generous donors.

Dorothy is jumping into action for St Clare at a time when costs are increasing and our NHS funding remains unchanged.

If you'd like to support Dorothy on her mission to raise funds for hospice care, donate here: https://bit.ly/4xbKbtj

Every donation helps support our vital work. Thank you 💙

As a clinician, some conversations don't end when your shift does.

Even the most experienced clinicians can leave a difficult conversation wondering: Did I say the right thing? Could I have handled it better? 💭

When discussions are complex, sensitive and emotionally challenging, having the right communications skills can make all the difference.

St Clare Hospice's Advanced Communications Skills Training is designed for experienced clinicians who want to feel more confident, supported and prepared when having these important conversations.

• Wednesday 16 & Thursday 17 September 2026
• St Clare Hospice
• £400 course fee - invoice payments available.
