A Friendly Invitation

Sometimes the best way to understand something is simply to come and see it for yourself.

Come in, have a look around, meet some of the people behind our services and find out how we support local people and their families.

There will be no awkward presentations and no pressure, just a warm welcome, friendly faces and, of course...

☕ A complimentary tea or coffee
🍰 A slice of cake

Whether you’ve supported the hospice for years or have never stepped through our doors before, we’d love to welcome you.

Everyone is invited. Everyone is welcome.

💙 Busting the Myths: Hospice Open Day

What comes to mind when you hear the word hospice?

💭 “Hospices are scary places.”
💭 “Hospices are only for the last few days of someone’s life.”
💭 “You can only come to a hospice as an inpatient.”

We hear these myths and misconceptions all the time, so we’d love to welcome you through our doors and show you what hospice care is really all about.

📅 Saturday 12th September

Join us for our Hospice Open Day and enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee and a slice of cake ☕🍰

Whether you know someone who has used our services, you’re interested in volunteering or fundraising, or you’re simply curious to find out more, everyone is welcome!

💙 Come for the cake, stay for the conversation! 🍰

We can’t wait to see you!

🐾 We had a very special visitor at the charity office today... meet Fern the gorgeous spaniel! 💙

Fern popped in to say hello, made herself right at home and definitely brightened everyone's day with plenty of tail wags and cuddles. 🐶

We're not saying she's officially joined the team... but we are wondering if she could be our new hospice mascot! 😍

What do you think, does Fern have what it takes? 🐾💙

We’ve had an amazing couple of weeks at the hospice 💛 Teams from SMI, Twinings UK, Simplyhealth UK and S&J Maddocks have been in to repaint our bedrooms - and they’ve done a fantastic job.
The rooms already feel brighter, fresher and more welcoming for our patients and their families. It’s incredible what a group of kind people can achieve together.
A huge thank you to everyone who picked up a paintbrush and helped create spaces filled with comfort and care. Community support like this means the world to us.
