Would you like to share your experience of Ashgate Hospice?

Your story could be used to help raise awareness of the care and services that Ashgate Hospice provides across North Derbyshire. It is likely that we will share your story and images both internally and externally. We will keep you updated throughout the process and explain where we plan to use your story specifically.  

Some platforms that we often share our stories on/with include:  

• in internal and external newsletters  
• our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok) 
• local press 
• on our website (www.ashgatehospice.org.uk) 
• in grant applications 
• in offline marketing materials, in leaflets for our healthcare teams or fundraising. 

Yes, you will get to see a copy of your story before it is published anywhere. After you’ve provided a member of our Marketing and Communications team with all the details they need, they will prepare a proposed article for you to read through and make any amendments. Before we publish or share it on any of the platforms in the list above, we want to make sure it is accurate and that you are happy with what we have written. Once you let us know that you are pleased with what we have put together, then we will look at getting your story out there.

If you change your mind about sharing your story, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing media@ashgatehospice.org.uk. Please note: If we have already published/shared your story, we will do all we can to remove your personal information from the public domain. However, sometimes this process can be difficult. If your story has been published by a third party, i.e., a news publication, we do not have control over whether it can be removed from their website. 

If you have any further questions about consent or about sharing your story, please contact the Marketing and Communications Team on media@ashgatehospice.org.uk and we’ll be more than happy to help.
