A huge thank you to Oaktrack Smallholding for their amazing donation of £400 raised through their recent Open Farm Event! 🎉

It was a real pleasure to be invited along, and we had such a lovely day. The farm is absolutely beautiful, and it was wonderful to see such a fantastic range of homemade and locally sourced produce on offer. 🚜🌾🍓

Events like these are a fantastic way to bring the community together while supporting local businesses and good causes.

A special thank you to Amanda and Tina for doing such a fabulous job organising the event and making it such a success. Your hard work and support are hugely appreciated.

A big thank you to Simplyhealth UK for yet another beautiful delivery of flowers! 💐

These gorgeous blooms were arranged as part of a volunteer day that some of the Simplyhealth team spent at Featherstone Flowers, and Sarah-Jane kindly brought them into the hospice for us.

They've certainly brightened up the hospice and brought a splash of colour to everyone's day. 🌸

Thank you to everyone involved for thinking of us and for your continued support, it's always so appreciated. ❤️

“On the first day of John’s arrival at the hospice, within an hour, he was so comfortable and upbeat. Through our unbearable heartache, we were comforted by what we called ‘the Angels of the Hospice’. On what would be John’s last day, he was treated with such dignity. We will forever be indebted to the hospice for making our darkest days manageable.”

Local Hospice Lottery is a hospice owned society lottery with over 30 years’ experience of raising lottery income. ALL profits are donated to hospice care and to date, a staggering £80 million has been raised for hospices like ours across the country. This income plays a crucial role in helping us to keep supporting local families just like John's.

A huge thank you to Christine Young, who recently visited the hospice with Elizabeth and Carol, bringing along a fantastic selection of goodies for our staff.

The generous donation included biscuits, tea, coffee, and plenty of other essentials to help keep our team going. We were also incredibly grateful to receive £136.78 in cash, raised through fundraising efforts and the collection of numerous 5p pots from around the village.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Christine, Elizabeth, Pam, Lyn and Chris for their kindness, generosity, and continued support. Community donations like these make such a difference and are greatly appreciated by everyone at the hospice.
