For one unforgettable evening, professional dancers will team up with 7 of our courageous and enthusiastic supporters to compete for our first ever Glitter Ball Trophy.
Most importantly, every step danced and every pound raised will help fund the vital care provided by Saint Francis Hospice to people with palliative and end of life care needs and their loved ones.
Saint Francis Hospice specialises in providing care for any person, from any faith or cultural background, who has been diagnosed with a serious illness who lives in Havering, Brentwood, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge or West Essex.
Saint Francis Hospice offers experienced, compassionate advice and support. The hospice works alongside GPs, community nurses and hospital specialists to help manage pain and other difficult symptoms, with an aim for comfort, as much independence as possible, and the best possible quality of life. The hospice team also provides care for people at the end of life, at home and at the hospice. We assess and address spiritual needs, linking in with local religious leaders and we do our best to accommodate any specific dietary requirement, custom or ritual that needs to be upheld.
Please join us for a night of unforgettable moves and heart warming support- it is going to be spectacular.
