AFC Didsbury will be supporting Francis House Children's Hospice this season

Last season, our Christmas party raised over £1,000 for Woodstreet Mission and the Bank of New York Mellon generously agreed to match this, which resulted in a total donation of £2,222.

The lads have all decided that Francis House Children's Hospice will be our nominated charity over the course of the 2014/15 campaign. We will be using our Christmas party again as our main fundraising event but we are also currently looking into other ways that we can generate funds and create awareness for this great charity. Please watch this space and we will send out further details as and when they are confirmed.

The Philosophy of Francis House Family Trust and Francis House flows from the
belief in the sanctity of life and the dignity of the person.Francis House and Francis Lodge exist to provide appropriate care for children and young people with life threatening conditions and the necessary support and short-term rest for their families.

The Hospice movement is concerned with the process of dying and with bereavement. While it is true that hospices have usually been founded by people of a specific faith, the service that a hospice seeks to offer always respects the understanding, vision and attitude to life and death of the person and family who seek help in the crisis which they face.

Francis House will seek to offer to young people and their families this very specific service. Whereas hospitals must focus on the curing of those who are ill, the hospice will focus on the care of those for whom a cure is unlikely.
Medical and all other support will be centred on comfort and quality of care and a dignified death. This is the specific vision, which Francis House will seek to share with all families who use its services.
