Read our supporter magazine

Autumn 2023

Check out our new look!

Your autumn supporter magazine is now live with all the latest news and events from Willen Hospice. When you download it, using the link below, you may notice that we’ve refreshed the magazine to reflect our updated brand. We hope you find it just as bright and interesting as before, as well as easier to read.

Inside you’ll hear about the launch of our new palliative care hub for Milton Keynes. Sara shares her story about her dad, Patrick, who was cared for here at the Hospice during a short but painful battle with kidney cancer. Our Philanthropy Manager Louise Pauley explains what her work involves, and we pay tribute to the fantastic fundraising being done by the Jell family – descendants of one of our founders, Dorothy Jell.
