Thank you to everyone who has donated to Blythe House or supported our work. Without you, Blythe House couldn’t provide vital care and support to people affected by cancer or life-limiting illnesses within our local community.
The services at Blythe House are free to access, but despite the support of over 250 volunteers, it costs more than £1,300,000 per year to run. We must raise over £3,600 every single day to continue our work, which is why we are always so grateful to everyone who helps us in this way. It could be something as simple as popping your spare change into one of our collection houses, or something as exciting as taking part in the sponsored challenge of a lifetime.
Every donation really does make a difference and you can be proud to be part of a very special group of people helping to provide vital care and support to our local community. If you think you might be able to help us achieve this target, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

One in five people die without making a will, often because they assume that everything will automatically go to their loved ones. However this is not always the case. A will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death.
Naturally your first consideration will be to take care of your family and friends. Once you have provided for them, you might consider leaving a gift to a charity close to your heart. Gifts in your will, or ‘legacy’ not only benefit your chosen charity, but could also reduce or eliminate the liability to Inheritance Tax for your beneficiaries.
Leave a legacy to Blythe House Hospice and know that you’ll be making a difference to the lives of the people living with, and affected by cancer and life-limiting illnesses within the High Peak community. Help us provide the care and support that’s desperately needed.
Rachel has taken part in several races – including 10ks and marathons – to raise vital funds for Blythe House. She says: ‘Mum was such a go-getter and wanted to make things happen. She got involved in the initial stages of Blythe House’s creation, alongside founder Reverend Betty Packham. My dad recalls that the original meeting place was in an old people’s home or similar in Chapel-en-le-Frith. A committee was formed there and my mum told members what support she, as a cancer sufferer, needed.’
