The campaign to save daycare at Hayward House is gathering force, as patients, volunteers, relatives and wellwishers are making contact and organising to work together.

I met this campaigner [who is also a patient there] in the Market Square during the St.Georges' Day events. We had a bit of a chat about the issues surrounding closure and it was really obvious to me how much the service ment to him. I signed the petition. I invite you to do the same.

Hayward House daycare is unique in the area, in that, alongside personal, social and emotional care, it also provides superb medical palliative care from a highly skilled team of doctors and nurses.  Many patients have described how their pain had been unbearable, and was not treated effectively in an oncology ward, yet the doctors at Hayward House were able to do enough to bring quality of life back to their last months or weeks.  Patients are naturally very upset and angry at the proposed closure, and this is doing their health no good.
