Spring 2024

Your spring supporter magazine is now ready to download below, with all the latest Hospice news and events.

You’ll read about the intrepid team of supporters and Hospice staff who trekked up Mount Kilimanjaro in January to raise money for our life-changing care.

Prepare to be moved by a very special story from Shaun, who shares his enduring love for his late wife, Teresa, and his gratitude to our specialist lymphoedema team for their compassion and expertise.

There’s also a spotlight on our Practice Development team and their work to share the skills of our clinical staff with students and other local healthcare professionals, improving palliative and end-of-life care across the community.
