Cynthia Spencer Hospice - provides specialist palliative care for people diagnosed with life-limiting and terminal illnesses and their families
at the Hospice in Northampton and in patients homes across Northamptonshire through our Clinical Nurse Specialist and Hospice at Home
Community Care Teams. The Hospice is also home to a county-wide Day Hospice wellness service. Care at the Hospice focuses on helping
patients to enjoy the best quality of life possible - controlling their pain and other symptoms; offering emotional and practical support;
providing suitable treatments and therapies and, when the time comes providing the best care to ensure a comfortable and dignified death.

The Hope Centre - our goal is to relieve poverty and tackle the causes of homelessness in Northampton. Every day more than 100 people from a diverse range of backgrounds come into the centre where we provide a warm and welcoming, non-judgemental environment for our clients and provide basic but essential services such as showers, clothing, hot meals and social interaction to discourage loneliness.
Actively helping our clients to engage in training and education is our priority, so as well as weekly workshops in maths, English and ICT skills, we also provide regular activities including gardening, arts and crafts, cookery and healthy living.

Children Are Butterflies - a Northampton based charity who offer practical and financial support when arranging a funeral for a child and more importantly, emotional support through an established network of parents and families who have suffered similar losses. It may be a lonely time, but with Children Are Butterflies you receive the support needed. Children are butterflies support both families locally and across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

James Mackaness Family Charitable Trust will collect the donations on our behalf and distribute equally between our chosen charities.
