A MEDICAL practice has chosen Saint Catherine’s as their Charity of the Year for 2020.

Pickering Medical Practice is supporting the Scarborough-based charity, who provide care and support at home and in the hospice for adults with a terminal illness, and to their families, and friends.

Surgery staff members Claudia Hough, Viv Barker and Nikki Scott met with the Ryedale area fundraiser, Nicky Grunwell, to discuss their fundraising plans.

Nicky said: “Supporters like Pickering Medical Practice help to make this possible - thank you from all of us at Saint Catherine’s.

“We are looking forward to working with the team throughout the year.”

Saint Catherine’s provides several services around Ryedale, such as community nurse specialists, care home support, bereavement support, clinics and an out-of-hours phone service.

All services are provided free of charge to patients, their families and carers.

If you would like to get involved in raising funds for patient care, phone Nicky Grunwell on 01723 378406. For more information, visit saintcatherines.org.uk or phone 01723 351421.
