The Hospice is one of The Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation’s nominated charities for the 2024/25 season, and its comprehensive services include inpatient care, home outreach, day therapy, counselling and complementary therapies, all aimed at enhancing the quality of life for patients and offering support to their families. Every donation received from supporters at King Power Stadium later today will support the charity’s counselling service – which is a crucial support system for patients and their families to receive the emotional and psychological care they need during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Player Support
Mads Hermansen and Victor Kristiansen visited LOROS earlier this week for a tour of the facility and to meet staff and patients.
The duo learned more about the vital care and services LOROS provides, as well as visiting key areas of the facility.
Mads said: “It was incredibly moving to visit LOROS to see the work being done at the hospice. The care, dedication and kindness shown by everyone is truly inspiring.
“To spend time with some of the patients and their families, and to hear their stories was a privilege, and it’s moments like these that remind us of the impact football can have beyond the pitch.
“Meeting everyone here has been a humbling experience, and I hope our visit can help raise more awareness and support of their work.”
To show further support for the Hospice, our Men’s First Team players will warm-up in LOROS t-shirts ahead of tonight’s game.
