As the festive season approaches, many of us feel the absence of loved ones we wish could be with us.

Light Up a Life is an opportunity to come together, reflect and remember the people who continue to shine brightly in our lives.

Join us on Sunday 6 December for our Light Up a Life ceremony, featuring readings, music and our new lantern walk.

This year, you can also leave a dedication on our virtual tree. As a lasting tribute, your loved one's light will shine on the lime tree at the heart of our hospice grounds.

Whether your loved one received support from Treetops or not, everyone is welcome to take part.

Exciting news – a lottery player in Long Eaton has won a £9,800 rollover prize on our weekly lottery!

The lucky player was sitting down having a cup of tea when our Lottery Manager called with the good news on Friday - and he was so shocked he had to pass the phone over to his wife! The lucky couple are looking forward to sharing their winnings with their family and making a donation back to the hospice.

If you would like to be in with a chance of being out next big rollover winner, why not sign up to play our lottery now: https://brnw.ch/21x6xwv

Meet Philippa Shreeve, our Director of Clinical Services at Treetops Hospice.

“My role is to ensure that we always strive to deliver the highest standards of care possible for the population we serve here at Treetops Hospice.”

During her time with Treetops, our clinical services have evolved in response to changes across the wider NHS. More people now need care delivered directly in their own homes and communities, and our fantastic clinical team has risen to that challenge.

Philippa brings many years of experience in palliative and end‑of‑life care, alongside senior roles in service improvement, redesign and innovation within the NHS and Department of Health.

This Hospice Care Week, we’re proud to celebrate the leadership, expertise and compassion that shape our services every day.

Grief can have a profound impact on children and young people. Many struggle with anxiety, tension, sleep disruption and overwhelming emotions after losing someone important.

Our volunteer Complementary Therapists offer gentle, trauma‑informed support to help them feel calmer, safer and more in control. Treatments such as massage, reflexology, Reiki and relaxation techniques can make a huge difference.

If you’re qualified in any complementary therapy, we’d love to welcome you to our CT Volunteering Team.

“It was mum that was dying, not us, but the Treetops nurses looked after me and the family and helped us through everything.”

Aimee’s mum, Stevie, wanted to stay at home at the end of her life. Like so many families, Aimee and her family did everything they could to make that possible but caring for someone you love can be overwhelming, especially when you don’t know what to expect.

That’s when our Hospice at Home nurses stepped in.

They gave Aimee and her loved ones the confidence to care, the space to rest, and the reassurance they desperately needed. They explained what was happening, prepared them for the final days, and made sure Stevie could stay where she felt safest, at home, surrounded by love.

Stories like Aimee’s show the real impact of community-based hospice care. Because when families receive the right support at home, everything changes. And together, we’re making it happen.
