2023 - The Yorkshire’s High and Low Challenge.

This year we are taking on the Yorkshire’s High and Low Challenge.
 
On Sunday 1st October 2023
 
Standing high in the clouds at 723m (2,372ft) Ingleborough throws out a ridge to the north-east which develops into a summit, Simon Fell and another summit further down, Park Fell. However, it also contains many hidden and wonderful secrets…. underground!!!
 
We climb to the top of Ingleborough and then descend by negotiating one of its best "The Long Churn Caves" with its sparkling stream ways and waterfalls. The challenge is to reach the highest and lowest point, how you descend into the cave is personal choice, either abseiling or steps, either way you will complete this challenge.  
 

We are looking for members of the community to join us and help raise vital funds for the hospice! Bonney, our Charity Operations Manager, will be taking part. This year we have 20 places available.

Please note, it is a climb, not a walk, and so you need to be reasonably fit in order to take part. If you can go walking for a day or climb stairs then this challenge is for you!

Please note, this is not a caving challenge. 

Each participant will have a £300 minimum fundraising target to reach.

If you would like to take part, visit our fundraising page by clicking here and fill in the form to register your interest. We can't wait to hear from you!

Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Snowdon ... Here we come

Exciting news!

We are going to be climbing Snowdon on Sunday 2nd October 2022 to raise vital funds for Bassetlaw Hospice!

We are going to climb the Pyg Track route, which takes approximately 5 hours to climb. We will leave the hospice at 6am in a minibus that has been organised, and the climb will start at 10am.

We are looking for volunteers to join us and raise vital funds for the hospice! Bonney, our Charity Operations Manager, will be taking part, and we have 10 places available.

Please note, it is a climb, not a walk, and so you need to be reasonably fit in order to take part. If you can walk non-stop for 3-4 hours, climb stairs or complete a park run in 30 minutes then this climb is for you! You will also need to commit to raising a minimum of £300.

If you would like to take part, visit our fundraising page and fill in the form to register your interest. We can't wait to hear from you!

We are open - Retford Shop make-over

New Year .... New Look 

During January, we temporally closed the doors to our Retford shop and  it was treated to a well deserved make-over. 

We have had the shop repainted, new carpets laid and new fittings installed, including new window lighting, enabling the community to see the shop from across the Market Square. 

To complete the make-over, we have installed a new till system in both our shops, allowing us to claim Gift-Aid on purchases. If you are dropping off any donations and you are a tax payer.... would you like to Gift-Aid your donations?

New Kitchen

In December we had a brand new kitchen installed, this enabled the kitchen to flow much better for the staff and it was developed into a fully commercial work space, utilising all the space we have and it has been finished with a nice new shiny look to it... what do you think?

Thank you to Gibbs and Dandy Worksop

A massive thank you to Gibbs and Dandy Worksop.
The team have donated 8 Amazon Alexa’s for all our patient bedrooms. This is amazing because the Alexa’s will give our patients more independence by being able to use voice control to play music, listen to books, ask the time and so much more. In time we are hoping that patients will be able to use their Alexa’s to change the lighting in their room when unable to do so themselves. This will enhance the patients experience with us here at the hospice.
Gibbs and Dandy have also donated us garden materials for us to use at the hospice, saving the charity hundreds of pounds. 
Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Leo and Caiden are both aged 11. In March this year their life's were turned upside down. When their Grandad ( Andrew Drobnica) passed away.

Andrew spent his last few days in Bassetlaw hospice with Leo's mum ( Andrews Daughter) and Caidens dad ( Andrews Son) by his side. Unfortunately because of Covid restrictions the boys were unable to visit, but would often facetime their Grandad.

Rebecca said "Leo and Caiden want to thank the hospice for the amazing and outstanding care given to their Grandad. So on Saturday 7th August they are putting on their Footie tops on and setting off from Worksop via the Canal to Bassetlaw Hospice, this will take them around 4 hours."

The challenge
After so many months working from home and an injury each, Yumi and Jo needed a challenge to get them moving again. All the usual races and events have been cancelled, but they were inspired by the website that Mark recommended : My Virtual Mission.com

What did they do 
Yumi and Jo both started running again regularly. Christoph took up kayaking. Richard started biking the 9km trip to and from work and sometimes he even comes home for lunch. They also did various bike rides and hikes with the children and friends ; every kilometre counted!
Challange complete 
The did amazingly well and completed the challange covering 01181km in 90 days.

Service improvements here at Bassetlaw Hospice 

We have been looking at ways to enhance the services we provide here at Bassetlaw Hospice. 

One of our new ideas has been made possible with the help and Support from Laura at ASDA in Worksop 

Bonney, our Charity Operations Manager went to meet Laura at ASDA where she explained the project that we are starting. ASDA have kindly donated toiletries to make up 15 new welcome packs for our patients here at Bassetlaw Hospice. These packs are so important, sometimes patients arrive with very little and these welcome packs will help with the essentials that a patient may need and the information included will help patients and their families to really understand what is on offer and what we can do for a patient here at Bassetlaw Hospice. 

Watch this space for more information on the welcome packs and other new service improvements 

And once again, thank you ASDA!

Samantha Sanders

Hi, my name is Sam, I work at Bassetlaw Hospice. Leading up to the event I have been completing my usual running training which usually consists of 2 training sessions, a long run and a recovery run each week. The average distance I cover in a typical week is around 35 miles so this is a massive leap for me, I do get fatigued and achy joints after a longer run usually, so ensuring I eat properly and get plenty of sleep will be key. I have pulled my back on Sunday and I’m struggling to walk at the minute without pain, so the next few days will be spent stretching and trying to improve this little issue, a trip to the physio may be in order.

Anyway, I see this all as part of the challenge, and look forward to seeing how I cope, mentally and physically.

Ali Mccurrach

Hi, my name is Ali and although I've always enjoyed exercise I was somewhat out of shape when I drunkenly agreed to take up the 10 for 10 challenge (Samantha sanders talked me into it on Feb 14th)
This left me less than 5 weeks to go from an unfit bloke into someone who can run 100 miles in 10 days. I started training straight away and ran 3 miles every day that week.
With 4 days left before the start I'm up to 6 miles a day. I've had blisters and sore muscles but it's all for a wonderful cause. I'll just have to jump into the challenge head first and have faith in myself. Good luck to all my fellow runners (I know I'm going to need a little)

Serlby Park Golf Club have picked us to be their charity of the year 2021

 

A message from the Janet Batty, the Lady Captain;

My name is Janet Batty and I was Lady Captain of Serlby Park Golf Club in 2020 and since the year did not pan out as expected, I am to continue in the role in 2021.

I chose to support the Bassetlaw Hospice as my Charity and the Captain came on board as well. Unfortunately, due to lockdowns and the closure of the Clubhouse for much of the year, fundraising has been difficult. We did, however, manage to raise just under £700 from donations, quizzes, a couple of raffles and the sale of some golf clothes. We also sold £100 worth of sunflower badges in aid of the Hospice.

The good news is, as both myself and the Captain are continuing in our roles, we are also continuing to have the Hospice as our nominated charity. Hopefully, as things return to normal, we will have more opportunities to fundraise and in particular hold our Charity Day in August, which is our biggest fundraising event.

Fingers crossed!!!!!!

In Memory of Jayne Reay

In Memory of Jayne

When Stuart Reay contacted the hospice to say that he wanted to start a Virgin Money Giving page for Jayne we knew we had to support him. The support and donations from friends and family has been overwhelming, in less than 4 days the money raised doubled the orginal target of £1000

Stuarts Story

In Memory of Jayne Elizabeth Reay, who sadly passed away on January 20th 2021 aged 64.

Jayne died at Bassetlaw Hospice in Retford where she was cared for in the last weeks of her life. Jayne had battled cancer for eight months, during which she endured numerous traumatic admissions via A&E to local hospitals that just weren’t geared up to give her the care she so much needed.

At Bassetlaw Hospice Jayne received the most unbelievable care from the amazing team there, and felt safe and cared for in her final weeks.

The total raised was £4,292.50

Thank you

Lace City Chorus picked us to be their charity of the year!

 Lace City Chorus - The team's story 

In January 2021 we lost our very dear friend and chorus member, Karina Roe. Karina was a member of the bass section and performed on the front row. She had the unique ability to inspire and motivate everyone she met and was a dear friend to us all. She spread positivity and had a sparkle that we miss so much.

We are so blessed that Karina's talent, enthusiasm and kindness was a part of Lace City Chorus. In honour of her memory, the chorus are raising funds to help fund the purchase of a new electric reclining chair for the Bassetlaw Hospice, where she spent her last days. We hope that in small way we can help make residents more comfortable as the staff at the hospice did for Karina.
