Local man donates £500 to emergency appeal

We would like to say an enormous thank you to Martin Foster, who has generously donated £500 to Lindsey Lodge after seeing our emergency appeal.

Martin said: “I knew I was about to receive some redundancy money, so I thought I would to try and help by donating some of it to the hospice after I saw the emergency appeal.

“I’ve supported Lindsey Lodge ever since a very close friend of mine passed away there. Since then I've managed to arrange a regular annual donation from my trade union branch, the Unite Scunthorpe Steelworks Branch and made other small personal donations. My wife Julie and I often donate to the Hospice shops. 

“I've seen first-hand the high standard of care, support and respect that is provided by Lindsey Lodge, not just to the patients, but to their friends and family too. I believe it's really important that we do as much as we can to help support the Hospice at such a difficult time.

“I will, and do, encourage people to support the Hospice and what they do and I'll continue to do so. It's a service we may all need at some point, but as it’s a charity, it's down to us, the public, to make sure places like this survive for when we may need them most.”
