Here’s your reason 👇

Every step you take at the Nottingham Running Festival helps someone stay at home at the end of their life, keeping them out of hospital.

This summer, remember someone special 🌻

Our Sunflower Appeal is a way to celebrate their life, honour their memory, and help other families get the care they need.

Dedicate a sunflower in memory of someone you love. Your message will become part of a beautiful display at the hospice, or our online digital meadow.

Every sunflower helps another family stay together at home, when it matters most.

🌟 Meet our Hospice Heroes! 🌟

We are absolutely over the moon to introduce Joshua, Zac and their brilliant friends, who organised an incredible cake sale and fundraiser in honour of their grandma, who loved attending our wellbeing sessions.

These amazing young fundraisers baked and sold cakes and treats, crafted handmade cards, and put together mystery "blind bags" which raised a phenomenal £200! 🎂💛

We had the pleasure of welcoming them to our West Bridgford community shop to present them with their very well-deserved Hospice Hero medals. We think you'll agree they look incredibly proud - and they should be!

Thank you, Joshua, Zac and friends. Your kindness, creativity and generosity mean the world to us and to every family we support. You truly are heroes. 🏅

You can still be part of the meadow 🌻

Our digital sunflower meadow lets you dedicate a sunflower online, from wherever you are. Add a name, a message, or a memory, and see it bloom alongside others.
Together, we’re creating something beautiful, while helping families stay together at home.

👉 Visit the digital meadow:

This summer celebrate the life and legacy of your loved one by giving in their memory. Dedicate a sunflower to someone special and help us create a sunflower meadow of love and remembrance. Each sunflower will help more families across Nottinghamshire get the vital care and support they need.

It was the nights that were hardest.
💬 “We were doing everything we could in the day, but overnight… we struggled.”

Dorothy became anxious and unsettled, and her family were exhausted... Then our nurses stepped in. That support meant Dorothy could stay at home, where she wanted to be.

💬 “I don’t know what we would have done without them.”

🌻 Read Dorothy's story, told by her granddaughter Kimberly, on our blog: https://www.nottshospice.org/kimberlys-family-support-sunflower-appeal-in-memory-of-dorothy/

A huge thank you to Edwalton Masonic Lodge who have kindly donated £125! 💜

Raised from a raffle they held recently, this generous contribution will make such a difference to our patients and their families. Peter, the representative from the Masons is also a regular volunteer at our Ruddington Community Shop, so we met at the shop to accept the cheque.
