The Castlederg Patient and Comfort Terminally ill fund
The Fund was established to improve the quality of life of chronically and terminally ill persons in the Castlederg area who wish to be cared for at home by making available when required specialist equipment, aids for their care and other appropriate complementary medical services. It provides support to people with serious illness as the need becomes apparent and offers help to those who are facing financial hardship or who need assistance with transport costs or exceptional treatments. They offer funds for specific items of equipment, accommodation for relatives staying away from home to support patients and any other exceptional circumstances which might arise. The Fund may in exceptional circumstances make cash donations to the patients or their carers for their relief.
More details of the schedule of fundraising events to be held throughout the year will be provided in the coming weeks along with details of how to donate to the Mayor’s Charity.
