Phyllis Tuckwell, Hospice Care

Phyllis Tuckwell, Hospice Care Phyllis Tuckwell is the only adult hospice care service covering West Surrey and North East Hampshire

For over 40 years Phyllis Tuckwell has provided supportive and end of life care to patients and their families living with an advanced or terminal illness in West Surrey and North East Hampshire, serving 550,000 residents. Every day we support over 250 patients, carers and their families in their own homes, in the community, at the Hospice in Farnham (In-Patient Unit, Day Groups, outpatient appoin

tments and through Patient & Family Support) and the Beacon Centre in Guildford (Day Groups, Outpatient appointments and through Patient & Family Support). The NHS/Government usually only covers 20% of our costs, which means we rely heavily on the support and generosity of our local community. All our services are free of charge to our patients and their families, but we need to raise over £25,000 a day to offer such an exceptional standard of clinical care and support.

James will be taking part in Dash of colour in memory of his friend Ben. Ben, who was only 29 when he was diagnosed with brain cancer, was referred to Phyllis Tuckwell when after a while, it was discovered it had spread to his spine.

“Ben was over six foot; he was a really big bloke,” said James. “His mum and dad were in their 70s, and they lived with his little boy, who was only six at the time. Ben always wanted kids. Even when we were younger, that's all he ever talked about. Then he got married and had his son and that was his whole life. Everything he did was for his little boy. That's one of the tough things. He wasn't worried about dying, he was just worried about leaving his kid behind. I think he felt really guilty about it. The thought of everything Ben had to go through at the end, if he had had to do that at home, with his son there, that would have been terrible. If he'd had to have his final weeks at home, it would have been a very difficult situation. It's just so much for a kid of that age to comprehend. To have to see it all first-hand would have been shocking. I can't even think what would have happened if Phyllis Tuckwell hadn’t been able to take Ben. He stayed on the IPU for his last weeks, and they gave him around the clock care, 24 hours a day."

After Ben had died, his son, attended our Little Rays bereavement group, a six week after school group that supports primary school aged children who have been affected by the death of a loved one.

James decided he wanted to fundraise for Phyllis Tuckwell to show his support for the care we gave to Ben and his family.

James has already taken on many challenges but is really looking forward to Dash of Colour, and joining in with people of all ages to and to ensure that we can continue to support people like Ben and his family.

Whilst some of us are celebrating Father’s Day, we also understand that you could be finding today very difficult - so we would like to invite you to remember your Dads, Granddads and father figures who are no longer here, you can share a memory, photo or a special message in their honour.

From all of us at Phyllis Tuckwell, our thoughts are with you.

Looking for a lovely way to spend a summer’s day?

Some of the Phyllis Tuckwell team will also be there on the day serving refreshments, so you can grab a cup of tea, enjoy something sweet, and take a little break as you wander around.

It’s a wonderful community event in aid of us and Skillway Vocational Workshops and a great way to support local charities at the same time. Every visit helps us continue providing vital care and support for patients and their families.

Entry for both days is just £5 and will give access to all of the gardens.
