Over the next few weeks, our hospices will be buzzing with Christmas events, pantomimes and visits from the big man himself – we welcome children and families to join us and make precious memories together. For the first time this year we’ll also be opening up all three of our hospices to the public with our special Winter Wonderland events. This, of course, is also a time of reflection, particularly for the families who use our services. It’s a time when families come together to celebrate and remember those who are sadly no longer with us. It’s thanks to you we can continue to offer our vital services. For every pound you give, every hour you donate, and every trip you make to an EACH shop, you’re ensuring we can continue to be there for families when they need us most. We wish you and your families a healthy and restful festive season and look forward to seeing you all again next year. Thank you! You're making a big difference to so many families this Christmas We created an incredible evening of fun and music, making special memories for families receiving care and support at The Treehouse, our hospice in Ipswich. The care floor was awash with singing, smiles and sparkles for an ABBA-themed party night, you can watch a film from the night by clicking below. Among those attending was mum Debbie Streatfield, whose 14-year-old daughter, Ava, has Cerebral Palsy. She is non-verbal and needs oxygen. Debbie said: “Brand practice nights are always great, but this has been one of the most fun so far. Ava absolutely loved it, as soon as the music started her eyes widened and you could see it meant a lot to her. “It doesn’t matter if you can’t sing or dance. You can express yourself in different ways through music, and it’s enjoyable to everybody. It makes you feel free.” Tree-cycling takes the hassle out of your Christmas clear-up!
