Did you know that £40 could pay for one hour of specialist nursing care at the hospice or out in the community? As a charity, we need to continue providing our specialist care for our patients, and their families which costs around £9 million a year – that’s almost £26,000 every single day!
If you are taking part in the Bedford Running Festival on behalf of Keech, please let us know as we’d love to support you. Email us at letmehelp@keech.org.uk.

“Keech was a breath of fresh air,” says Kayleigh. “I just wish we’d have engaged with them sooner. It could be scary for family and friends to look after Evelyn. It was a big responsibility and she’d often faint or go blue, but the team at Keech took it all in their stride, including handling Evelyn’s feeding pump and oxygen tank."
