Support the Dandelion Appeal – Help make every last moment count
The Dandelion Appeal is raising funds to support and enhance the end-of-life care provided at Basildon, Broomfield and Southend Hospitals – helping patients and their families find comfort, support and dignity in their final moments.
What your support will fund
Your donation will help provide simple enhancements making a clinical setting feel more comforting – soft lighting, cosy blankets, sleeper chairs, and bedside beds that allow loved ones to stay close. You’ll also fund bereavement packs, grief books for children experiencing loss, memory boxes and hand mould kits that help families create lasting memories.
It’s often the smallest things that bring the greatest comfort in life’s hardest moments.
How your donations help
- £5 could fund a bereavement bag
- £25 could gift a grieving family with a memory box
- £1,000 could provide a bedside bed
- £5,000 could fund environmental improvements to an end-of-life room
In addition to the option to donate, you might consider fundraising in your community – every step, slice of cake or shared story helps.
When someone you love is nearing the end of their life, every second together is precious.
Together we have just one chance to get it right. Please support the Dandelion Appeal today.
