A Bucks paramedic is supporting a charity's bid to raise £100,000 in just seven days.

Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care's challenge is to fund palliative paramedic care for the coming year.

Between midday on December 3 and midday on December 10, any donations made via the Big Give website will be doubled, while matched funding lasts.

This gives locals the opportunity to make twice the impact with their donation.

Megan Brown, a palliative paramedic who works for the charity, is part of the Hospice at Home team, providing planned and unplanned care to people in Buckinghamshire living with progressive life-limiting illnesses.

Ms Brown said: "I love working as part of the Rennie Grove Peace Hospice at Home team and meeting all the patients who we support to live the best quality of life they can.

"It’s an extremely rewarding role and I am lucky to work with an incredible team of nurses and other paramedics.

"The care we provide is at no cost to our patients and families and is only made possible by the generous donations we receive from our local community.

"By supporting the Big Give Christmas Campaign, you will make a meaningful impact, with every donation being doubled to support crucial local services.

"Don't miss the chance to make a difference—every pound you donate counts twice."

The charity is heavily reliant on community donations to provide its services to patients and families free of charge.

It is hoped that the Big Give Christmas Challenge will raise enough funds to support the charity's palliative paramedic care for the year ahead.

Ms Brown and her colleagues are urging people to donate generously and help them achieve their ambitious target.

To contribute to the campaign, people can visit the charity's website for more information.

All donations must be made via the Big Give Christmas Challenge website, which will be linked from the Rennie Grove Peace page while the campaign is live.
