Our CEO, Rachael, was delighted to join Tan Dhesi to visit some of our Trunks across the Thames sculptures across Slough.

It was amazing to see the trail together and hear Tan’s thoughts on the impact it is having across the community.💚

They also took the opportunity to share updates on current news and priorities on both sides, and discuss opportunities to work together and support local people and our community. Thank you, Tan, for your continued support.

You may recognise Emma, our Senior Events Fundraiser, from the Sunflower Walk.🌻

She’s the person behind so much of what makes this special event happen, from planning the route and briefing volunteers to being there to support our wonderful walkers on the day. 💚

For Emma, it’s the people who make the walk so special:

“It’s such a joyful event. There’s a real sense of camaraderie and people coming together. It’s an opportunity to spend time with family and friends, remember loved ones, meet other people supporting the Hospice and enjoy being part of something really positive.”

Every step taken and every pound raised helps us continue providing compassionate care to patients and families.

A very special visit from our CEO 🐘💙

Our CEO, Rachael, has been out and about exploring Trunks Across the Thames and visiting some of the amazing elephants along the trail!

From the incredible designs to the stories behind each sculpture, it was wonderful for Rachael to see the trail up close and experience the creativity that has taken over our local community this summer.

Trunks Across the Thames is about so much more than our herd of colourful elephants. It’s bringing people together, creating special moments and helping raise vital funds to support the work of Thames Hospice.

We’d love to know – how many elephants have you spotted so far? 🐘

🐘 The herd is coming together for one last time!
