This week marks the fasting for the holy month of Ramadan and Bolton Hospice would like to wish everyone taking part a blessed month.

Martina Horrigan, fundraiser at Bolton Hospice, said, “Every year, Bolton Hospice are fortunate to receive Lillah donations from our local community during Ramadan as well as throughout the rest of the year. Over the years this has raised an incredible £21,000, which could pay for 210 visits by our specialist Hospice At Home nurses, allowing patients to be cared for in their own homes.”

Bolton Hospice supporter, Muntazir Depoti said: “Bolton Hospice provides clinical palliative care dealing with matters of illness, life and death within an ethical framework which includes an Islamic spiritual framework. The past year has no doubt been a challenge one for both the local and global community, COVID-19 has had a far reaching impact on service providers particularly those such as Bolton Hospice who provides services for free to all communities. Your donation no matter how large or small matters and will be much appreciated. The month of Ramadan is a month of great blessings, I humbly request you to donate generously to a very local cause.”
