00:03A funding crisis is forcing Ashgate Hospice to slash their beds from a potential 21 to just 6,

00:10making 52 of its workforce at risk of redundancy.

00:14The much-loved hospice is urging the community to act now for Ashgate

00:18as it announces plans to drastically reduce inpatient beds,

00:22cut staffing numbers and scale back many of its care and support services

00:26as it is forced to make £2.6 million of saving due to what it describes as insufficient NHS funding.

00:33Ashgate was rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission earlier this year

00:37with 100% ratings in 4 out of 5 categories, giving it one of the highest scores in the country.

00:43It provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care to around 2,600 patients

00:48and the people important to them annually.

00:51But despite this outstanding quality of care,

00:53months of negotiations and the support of MPs across Derbyshire,

00:57Ashgate has been unsuccessful in its bid to get the local NHS to increase its funding settlement.

01:03Their Act Now for Ashgate campaign is calling on members of the public

01:06to contact Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board

01:09and call for fair and sustainable funding for end-of-life care in North Derbyshire.

01:23Now rebranded as an Emporium,

01:25the Staple Vintage Centre has been stripped back to brick and concrete

01:28in anticipation of potential future flooding events.

01:32Reopening on November 10th,

01:34the centre has 40 traders so far

01:36and has rebranded from Antiques to the Emporium.
