This year, the bar facilities are being run by SUE RYDER CARE - MANORLANDS HOSPICE who will receive proceeds from money raised. It costs £2.2 million to run all the hospice’s services each year and they only receive funding for half of these costs. There is, therefore, a heavy reliance on voluntary contributions and support. The hospice in Oxenhope provides specialist palliative care to people living in Airedale, Craven, Northern and Western areas of Bradford. This is the type of care given to people with life threatening illnesses such as Cancer, Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia, Huntington's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Motor Neurone Disease. Treatment is provided either at home or in the Hospice and is provided is free of charge. These conditions usually involve complex physical or psychological problems which cannot be managed by the general medical and nursing services. Specialist palliative care focuses on helping to resolve these problems while supporting family, carers and close friends. Keighley Show is pleased to be able to help the hospice raise additional funds for their valuable work.
