People are being urged to get behind a campaign to raise £3m so a Yorkshire hospice can “help more people in a much more personal way”.
Today sees the launch of a fundraising drive for the remaining £3m Overgate Hospice in Halifax needs. Under the £12.75m plans, the current hospice will taken back to brick so it can start a new chapter as a day centre providing a wide range of therapeutic and social activities. Meanwhile a new building will be built on the old car park with 16 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and plenty of space for families to stay overnight.
The new space will be far more flexible and means they will be able to almost double admissions as well as creating a “real homely environment”. At the moment sometimes families have to sleep on campbeds, but in future there will be enough space for daybeds and they also plan to have “cuddle” beds, singles that turn into doubles. She said: 'We are caring for more young people and it will allow children to pile onto the bed with mum and dad to spend some quality time.
