Royal District Nursing Service Appeal

The nursing care RDNS provides aims to keep people who are sick in their homes for as long as possible - so they don't have to be separated from their loved ones or go into hospital, nursing homes or other supported accommodation. Every day RDNS nurses care for over 8,000 people. We need to raise funds urgently so that we can continue to provide essential nursing care to the sick in our community, many of whom are disadvantaged, elderly or isolated.

Why are we collecting funds?

Each day the importance of nursing people in their own homes grows. With people now discharged from hospitals more quickly than ever before, day surgery increasing and the number of elderly people in our community rapidly growing, the demand for home nursing care is greater than at any time in our history. And this demand will only increase as the population continues to age.

RDNS urgently needs your support now not only to assist us with those currently in our care, but also to help us develop the staff and services needed for a future that will see demand for our services grow astrononically.
