Katharine House Hospice (KHH) is appealing for people to pledge their support for the new year.

Be it a one-off donation or taking part in the hospice's adventurous range of bucket list activities such as a 100ft abseil, 160ft bungee jump, or skydiving from 13,000 feet, supporters will ensure a continuity of care for people in the community.

As part of its I Am Katharine House campaign, the hospice is urging people to visit its website, where they can declare their contribution to KHH in the forthcoming year.

Karen Welsh, KHH Spokesperson, said: “It takes our whole community to keep the hospice going, and everyone who supports us, be it through fundraising, volunteering or working with us, becomes part of the Katharine House family.

"The I am Katharine House campaign aims to encourage more people to join that family.

“It costs £12,995 every day to run Katharine House and every single thing our supporters do, be it big or small, helps us to raise these the vital funds we need to care for people affected by life-limiting illnesses."

The hospice cares for around 1,300 people, supporting locations such as Banbury, Bicester, Brackley, Byfield, Chipping Norton, Priors Marston, Shipston-on-Stour, and Woodford Halse.

Katharine House, working in partnership with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, cares for people at the hospice, in their own homes, in care homes, and in hospital.
