We’re welcoming the local community to open the Garden of Memories 2026!
Join us for the opening of the Garden of Memories 2026
We’re welcoming the local community on Sunday 2nd August from 2.30pm to open the Garden of Memories. It will be held in the hospice grounds, just outside the Jigsaw entrance.
The Garden of Memories gives you the opportunity to give a gift to support hospice care and remember your loved ones. By donating, your loved one’s dedication will be displayed throughout the month of August, alongside each of our bespoke Forget-Me-Nots.
The garden will be open throughout August, giving a space for families and supporters to remember and celebrate loved ones.
How it works?
Step 1: Remember
Commemorate those you miss by having their name displayed in our dedicated Garden of Memories at the hospice.
Step 2: Support
Donate to give other families the opportunity to create lasting memories with their loved ones without worry, pain or discomfort.
Step 3: Visit
The Garden of Memories will be open to the public throughout August. The unveiling of the Garden of Memories is taking place on Sunday 2nd August at 2:30pm, at the hospice in our dedicated garden area.
Your gift will ease worry and give families quality time together…
“I could sit with him late into the night when he called for me. I could be beside him when he wanted to sit up, play cards, watch reruns of Star Trek, and reminisce about our lives.”
– Dawn Breen
The on-site flat was a lifeline for Dawn, who lived out of the county. She could stop worrying about how she would get back and forth for visits each day or where she would stay. She could just focus on being there with her brother, Cameron.
“I’ve seen how connecting with the tranquillity of nature lights people up – children and adults alike. In a way, that’s what we strive to give each patient we meet – moments of light.”
– Julie Greer, Nurse Associate
