St. Andrew's Hospice Grimsby

18/06/2026

Here at the hospice, it costs over £7million to run yearly - with only 18% of that being government funded. It’s only thanks to you, our generous community, that we are able to keep our doors open 🧡

It's that time of the month for Thank You Thursday!

Thank you so much to the Horncastle and District Lions Club-CIO 1180570 for their incredibly kind donation of £2,000 to our Andy's Children Unit. This wonderful amount was raised through a series of events organised and hosted by the Lions and District Club, with all proceeds going into their Charity Fund. They use this fund to support local causes, community projects, and many other fantastic initiatives!

Thank you to the The Yarborough Hotel Grimsby for putting on a family fun day in aid of St Andrews Hospice. It was a fantastic event and we loved being a part of the day.

A huge thank you and well done to Roger, who completed a Skydive in May and raised an incredible £320 for St Andrew’s Hospice! As you can see from the photo, he absolutely loved every moment of his experience high up in the clouds 🪂

Thank you so much to East Yorkshire DA Camping and Caravan Club for choosing us as their Charity of the Year - they have raised an amazing £1000.58 for our hospice which we are incredibly grateful for. Your generosity means the world to us!

Thank you Tesco Lincoln for allowing us to speak to their customers and help raise awareness about how we can offer support to families in Lincoln at our children's hospice, Andy's.

A huge thank you to Nottingham Building Society for kindly donating the children’s garden tool equipment. The children absolutely love them, and they’re already being put to wonderful use in our garden at Andy’s.

Thank you to Jenny who very kindly donated this beautiful bear, handmade by Jenny herself 🧡Keep a look out as this bear will be available to be win at the Fireman’s Fete on the 11th July through having a play on our name cards!

“She is the most loving little girl. She would help absolutely anyone. Energetic, always on the go. Everyone who met her fell in love with her. That’s the kind of person she was, and I’m so proud of her.”

That’s how mum Chantelle describes her daughter Myla, who, in August 2025, was suddenly diagnosed with a rare brain tumour, Diffuse Midline Glioma, at nine years old. After a brave six months, Myla sadly passed away on 15th January 2026; since then, her family have been carrying on her legacy and raising awareness in her name.

Zak, Myla’s dad, explained: “You know about the hospice, but you don't really know about the hospice. We’ve just had to find out, in the hardest way, what they really do and just how much they do.”

During their final days together, Chantelle promised Myla to “share her story and let everyone know how brave she was, because she was so incredibly brave”. Since then, her family have been doing exactly that, setting up a page, , and holding multiple events to raise awareness about Diffuse Midline Glioma and fundraise for the hospitals and charities who supported them.

When a child is seriously ill, we’re here for the whole family. Time together, help through the night, and someone alongside you when things are hard. We're here now, and we want to be here for every family in Lincolnshire, Hull and East Riding who needs us.

This , a new report from Together for Short Lives shows how much care children's hospices like ours now provide, and why we need fair NHS funding to keep going.

The good news is this can change. We're asking government to fund children's hospices fairly, so families can always count on the care they need.

Children's hospices give families the most important thing: time spent together.

They provide expert care and specialist support so families can rest, make moments and focus on what matters most. But many hospices are struggling to meet demand for their services because funding isn't keeping pace with need.

This Children's Hospice Week, let's help change that.

Keep an eye out for our posts this week showcasing all the work our incredible children's unit do🧡
