Will you help us send one clear message to Andy Burnham?

You previously supported one of my Change.org campaigns, so I hope you won’t mind me asking you to look at one final campaign that has now reached an important moment.

More than 60,000 people have signed this national hospice petition and around 19,000 have already shared it.

We are shortly taking it to Downing Street, and hundreds of Parliamentarians from across the political spectrum have supported the wider call for fair and sustainable hospice funding.

So I’m not asking you to help launch another unproven petition.

I’m asking whether you might help us, in this final stretch, send one clear message to Prime Minister Andy Burnham:

“Prime Minister, will you personally receive this national hospice petition and make sustainable hospice funding a national priority?”

And I’m not asking you simply to take my word for why it matters.

These are just two of the comments people have left:

“I have been told I might make it to Christmas.” — Catherine, Newport

“My mum begged for a hospice bed. There were 21 beds, but only 7 were available because of cuts.” — Faye, Eastbourne

These are not campaign slogans. They are the words of people living with the consequences.

Please read the petition and some of the comments for yourself:

If you agree with them, please add your name.

And if you have already signed, perhaps share it once more.

With 60,000 people already standing behind this message, every additional name now helps us show Andy Burnham just how strongly people across the country want Britain’s hospices protected.

Thank you for taking the time to decide for yourself.
