Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice, in 2010. The compassionate care she received meant an awful lot to me and my family.
Sue Ryder does fantastic work, being there for families like mine. However, it remains reliant on voluntary income and needs your readers’ support to ensure it can keep offering expert care.
This is why I want to tell you about how you can get involved with Walk to Remember this October.
It is an opportunity to get together with family and friends to celebrate the memory of your loved one, raise vital funds and help Sue Ryder fill someone’s last days with love.
Sue Ryder’s research shows more than half (54%) of the British public think that remembrance events help them grieve. You can join hundreds of other supporters and walk 5k or 10k at one of Sue Ryder’s organised events – Walk to Remember in Bedford or Peterborough, or
Starlight Hike in Cheltenham or Worth Valley.
You can also organise your own Walk to Remember and do 5k or 10k or a distance of your choice on any day during October. The charity’s research found more than two thirds of people (71%) have a special place they visit to remember someone who has died. Make it your Walk to Remember by deciding your start and finish line and a route that means something to you.
The funds raised will help Sue Ryder to support people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness or a bereavement, with your support Sue Ryder can be there when it matters.
You can sign up now at www. sueryder.org/walk. Thank you so much for your support; it really will make a difference to those needing Sue Ryder’s care.

Ambassador protest, but in this case and the way Extinction Rebellion are causing huge disruptions, it has not only got out of hand but potentially dangerous. The police need to be allowed to use force if necessary and these people should be heavily fined and be made to pay for any disruption and for wasted police time and clean up any rubbish they leave.
When will politicians and the Law Society wake up to the fact which is staring them in their face, that our laws for criminals are far too lenient and don’t discourage crime? The public are not told that in fact prisoners may only serve half their time for good behaviour. When this should only be allowed in very minor crime cases.
As far as headlines about
“just in time” not working in the supermarkets and food shortages being permanent, all shoppers know it hasn’t worked for years.
