## **The Louise Hamilton Trustees Report Year 2023 – 2024**
**The Louise Hamilton Trust was set up with the aim of improving end of life care in the Norfolk and Waveney area. Our initial aim was to establish a palliative and end of life care support centre for patients and their families. Having helped to establish a successful Centre in Louise’s name, our aim now, is to give the people of this area a much needed hospice facility. Whilst we continued to raise funds for this provision, we realised the enormity of the task, therefore we worked hard throughout the year to establish a closer working relationship with St Elizabeth Hospice. We engaged in many meetings, to see how best to work together, toward raising sufficient funds to turn the goal into a reality. We also took part in a feasibility study instigated by St Elizabeth, to ascertain local people’s views on various issues regarding the proposed hospice and location.**
**Most of our year was taken up with in-depth talks with financial advisors regarding possible substantial funding from a late, local lady’s, estate. We were asked to provide evidence of need in end of life care in the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area and the need for hospice provision. We sought guidance from eminent experts in the field of palliative and end of life care, these included Professor Stephen Barclay Palliative Medicine Honorary Consultant at Cambridge, Sharon Allen OBE Chief Executive of Arthur Rank Hospice and Clare Henry MBE former CEO National Council for Palliative Care and Dying Matters. We were given information which proved invaluable, and for which, we were extremely grateful. We believe that working with St Elizabeth Hospice will help to accelerate the fundraising for the much needed hospice, as well as, instilling confidence in the general public who have been patiently waiting for this to happen.**
**Our shop in Great Yarmouth continued to trade in what were difficult times generally. We have a band of loyal customers, who come from far and wide to support us, this in turn enabled us to promote our aims for the future to the general public, as did the talks that I was able to deliver throughout the year.**
**I continued to work with several researchers in Cambridge, all of whom work to improve end of life care related issues, this ultimately helped to inform us of the needs of patients and carers. We care deeply about local patients needs. Whilst deprivation exists in Great Yarmouth and Waveney, it does not stop us from believing that we deserve the best for our local community and so our aim is to provide just that. With the help from the general public , together with St Elizabeth Hospice we can put the great back in Great Yarmouth as far as palliative and end of life care is concerned, making us proud that with the provision of a hospice we can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best.**
