Swing into Spring!


Telana, Melissa, Megan and Tracey!

Just some additional background regarding St. Teresa's Hospice, the organisation this charity event raised money for.

St Teresa's cares for the terminally ill eg. cancer, HIV, motor neuron and any other illness that has become terminal.There is no discrimination regardless of race creed or financial status

No TERMINAL patient is ever turned away. St Teresa's Hospice has an In Patient Unit which has 18 beds for adults and 6 beds for children. Unfortunately due to the fact that they are a non-profit organisation the In Patient has to charge a fee which is negotiable. Should it be a state patient then they allow 2 weeks free.

All the children are kept here free of charge as they all come from poverty stricken families. Their Home Care programme is caring for about 150 patients at the moment and that service is FREE. They have 2 Sisters and 14 caregivers in that department.
