This year’s challenge has two important aims, to purchase three more Lateral Tilt Pressure Care Mattresses and to raise an equal sum for Care Funding.
The target is £16,700 and for every additional £5,566.00 we raise there’ll be another mattress and a similar contribution to our Care Funding.
Lateral Tilt Pressure Care Mattresses are perfect for the comfort and care of residents who are immobile or receive palliative and end-of-life nursing. We already have one of these sophisticated ‘ripple beds’ that gently tilts the person from one side to the other every 10 minutes, improving their comfort and limiting the number of times that they need to be physically repositioned and disturbed in the process. The reduction seen in the prevalence and severity of pressure sores has been truly impressive.
Horsfall House Care Funding is where the Charity tops up the fees of our GCC-funded residents in order to meet the full cost of their care (around £2,000 per month per resident) and it requires lots of fundraising!
Don’t forget that the extra 25% that we can claim through Gift Aid is transforming for our fundraising so if it’s appropriate, please tick the box!
You can find out more about Lateral Tilt Pressure Care Mattresses and our Care Funding by clicking the links below and if you have any queries, please just get in touch.
Thank you for all your support.

Why not support Horsfall House by joining our 500 Club?
This is a really good way of helping the work of the Charity and also gives you the opportunity to get a return on your money.
Each share costs £24 for 12 months, with a minimum commitment of one year. Payment is by Standing Order (to keep our admin costs to a minimum) and you may purchase as many shares as you wish. The prizes total 50% of the Club’s income each quarter and are apportioned as: 1st prize 27%, 2nd prize 13% and 3rd prize 10% (so prize values rise and fall with the 500 Club income).
If you would like to join, you’ll find detailed 500 Club rules, an application form and Standing Order mandate below to download and print then return to us. Or you can call Horsfall House to post these forms to you.
The Club is administered by the Fundraising Coordinator on behalf of the Trustees and he can be reached via Horsfall House, Windmill Road, Minchinhampton GL6 9EY on 01453 731227 or email: fundraising@horsfallhouse.co.uk
