IT’S SAD to hear that Helen & Douglas house is struggling financially. I wonder how much the disgusting way in which Sister Frances Dominica has been treated by the trustees over unfounded allegations has had on a fall in public donations.
I have donated for many years now and I must admit that I considered cancelling my direct debit over Sister Frances’s treatment, but if everybody adopted this attitude then it’s those in the care of the hospice who will suffer. I trust that all those trustees who make such decisions are working voluntarily. Many organisations carry so much baggage that the cost of such far outweighs the amount that goes to the front line.
