Super supporter challenge events
Could you be one of St Michael’s Hospice’s super supporters? The hospice are seeking three super supporters to challenge themselves this autumn at some of the UK’s most popular challenge events and raise vital funds for local hospice care.
Test your strength and endurance at the Dock-2-Dock swim in central London on Saturday, September 4, where you will experience open water swimming in the heart of the city from Royal Victoria Dock, towards London City airport. Head to the Brighton Marathon on Sunday, September 12 where the city’s amazing seascape and historic sites will inspire you as you push yourself to take on their iconic 26 mile route; or take part in the Brighton Cycle 50k also taking place on Sunday, September 12, where you will join cyclists of all calibres as you pedal your way through the traffic free streets of Brighton and Hove.
Do you think you have what it takes to be a St Michael’s Hospice super supporter?

Bereavement call-back service
The death of a loved one at any time can be one of the hardest things that we face in life. Bereavement during the Covid-19 pandemic, with restricted movement and very limited contact with friends and family, is likely to be the hardest thing possible.
The bereavement service team at St Michael’s Hospice are offering a call-back service for all adults living in Hastings and Rother, which can be accessed by completing a simple form on the website (https://bit.ly/3e9DwZ9) or by leaving a message on 01424 456361. You will receive a call back from one of the counsellors the next working day, Monday to Friday, where they will be able to provide emotional support and give practical advice where appropriate. No previous contact with the hospice is necessary to be able to access this support.

St Michael’s Hospice are encouraging residents and businesses to keep in touch with their vital services, events and news. If you would like sign up to the mailing list, please complete a quick and simple keep in touch form on their website https://bit.ly/3wBMuqz.
