Sue Ryder Nettlebed

Some of you may remember I posted a little while ago about the potential closure of Sue Ryder Nettlebed, which would leave us without a hospice in South Oxfordshire.

They are intending to concentrate more effort into care in the community and say that 75 percent of people surveyed would prefer end of life care in the home, but we say that 95 percent of people surveyed would prefer end of life care in a hospice environment. The love, care and compassion received up there by the staff is second to none and is held very dearly in many people's hearts in this community.

Since my last post I have been very busy to Save Sue Ryder. I have written articles in the local Henley Standard, I have spoken in the Town Council Chamber, I have published a Government Petition on line and a paper petition. The Council were fantastic in their response and are going to call a public meeting in Henley, so that the local population can discuss the situation and have their voices heard.

I will try to put my petition on line here and it would be wonderful if some of you could sign it. If I can't do it please go to my Facebook page Lynne Carter.

Hi love, this link doesn’t work, it takes us to a rejected petition page, it says there’s already a petition in place re this. I’ll go to your Facebook page to sign.

Keep up the fabulous work you’re doing, you are doing wonderful work which hopefully lots of people will benefit from

Big hugs of support ❤️Xx Jane

Hello, this link is about a rejected petition for recycling packaging. I don't subscribe to Facebook.

Done. There are 75 signatures so far.

Here's the correct link, the first link had the last two digits reversed which is why it sent us to the recycling packaging petition and the second had an extra h at the beginning and spurious space. You could edit your first post to show the correct link in case people don't read the trail.

Hopeful you'll get a good response. Much needed
