Fundraising

The facilities of Horsfall House are available to both private and Social Services clients. The policy of the trustees is, as far as possible, to maintain an even split between these two groups. As Social Services only funds two thirds of an individual’s full residential costs, there is a funding gap that in previous years has been accommodated by the local community. However, as the elderly population increases, there is rising pressure to accumulate capital that will ensure the continuing expansion of Horsfall’s services.

Due to the generosity of previous bequests we have been able to enhance our facilities in the following ways:

• Enlarged our Day Centre so that up to 25 clients can enjoy the spacious, modern and bright new premises, 6 days a week
• Built a conservatory in our Dementia Unit
• Purchased vehicles to transport clients to the Day Centre and take residents on outings

For the future, we are eager to:

• Provide a larger sitting room and activity room for our General Unit
• Change two double rooms on the General Unit into four single bedrooms
• Increase the number of beds on the Dementia Unit
• Build landscaped gardens that will be more accessible for the clients of the home
• Continually upgrade our facilities

If you have lived life, loved life, and wish to celebrate through helping the lives of others, you can pass on your good fortune by leaving a legacy in your will to Horsfall House.

Making a bequest is best done through your solicitor who will be happy to help you with this simple process. Just write to your solicitor and advise what type of legacy you would like to leave to Horsfall House. We are hugely grateful to all benefactors as indeed are our wonderful residents.
