This year, Ramadan is expected to begin on Sunday 10th March and end on Tuesday 9th April with the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations. Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, worship, and charitable giving observed by Muslims all over the world.

Charity begins at home: Support Bolton Hospice by donating your Lillah Sadaqah this Ramadan

As-salamu alaykum,

Ramadan Mubarak and welcome to Bolton Hospice. 

This year, we're calling on the Bolton Muslim community to support our vital work by making a donation during the holy month of Ramadan. 

Over the years the Bolton Muslim community has helped raise over £20,000 in Lillah Sadqah for the hospice and we can't thank you enough for your wonderful support. 

At Bolton Hospice, we have been providing specialist care and support for those with life-limiting illnesses and their families since 1992. Our services include inpatient care at the hospice, drop-in day services at the Wellbeing Hub with access to outpatient clinics and specialist support sessions, and a Hospice at Home service, all provided free of charge.

Misconceptions surrounding hospice care can often prevent the community from accessing specialist care and support which could dramatically improve you or you loved ones quality of life.

Did you know?

• We care for people with any terminal or life-limiting illness, not just people with cancer
• Visitors are welcome to the hospice at any time
• We have a multi-faith prayer room and ablution rooms on site
• Our Spiritual Care and Bereavement Support Lead can provide support for your family with a local Imam
• We can cater to all dietary requirements including Halal

This Ramadan, we're asking for your support to help us continue to provide these essential services. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference to the lives of those in need.

“The Ramadan festivities present a great opportunity to not only raise awareness of hospice services but also to play a part in raising much-needed funds. The hospice needs in excess of £5 million each year to fund its services; however, government funding only covers a fraction of this, meaning they rely on the kindness and generosity of the local community to raise over £4 million every year. A challenge made even harder by the current cost of living crisis affecting us all.” 

Mayor of Bolton 2023/24, Councillor Akhtar Zaman
